How do I prevent a crooked cut or blade wandering (blade lead) on my Grizzly Saw?

To prevent a crooked cut or blade wandering (blade lead) on your Grizzly Saw, several adjustments can be made. If the feed rate is too fast or the blade speed is incorrect, adjust them as needed. Low blade tension can cause wandering, so increase it. A dull or damaged blade should be replaced. Ensure adequate blade support by adjusting the upper blade guide closer to the workpiece. Using an incorrect blade for the application can also lead to crooked cuts, so use a wider blade. Check and adjust the blade tracking. If the table is loose, tighten the mounting bolts or tilt lock lever. Misalignment of the fence or miter slot can cause issues, so align the table miter slot and fence with the blade. Finally, ensure the blade guides are properly adjusted.
