Yesterday I installed the upper and lower blade guides, then mounted the table and did some tests.
- The blade guides are worn and need to be rebuilt. I'm hold off on discussing the blade guides until I start doing their rebuilds.
- The table wasn't hard to install.
- When I tested the saw on random blocks of soft wood, it didn't cut well. I wonder if I've got the wrong style of saw blade.
- After several minutes of testing the drive wheel started slipping, then stopped working all the way.
- I will have to 3D print out a replacement with a smaller size hole and try it again. I may work on some scheme to add a allen screw locking mechanism. If I do, hopefully the PLA plastic isn't too soft.
