Why won't my Record Power BS12 Saw cut in a straight line?
If your Record Power Saw won't cut in a straight line, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to a worn blade, in which case you should change it. The guide carrier may be set too high, so adjust it accordingly. The blade tension might be incorrect; refer to the manual for instructions. The fence could be misaligned, requiring adjustment. Lastly, the table might not be aligned correctly; undo the four bolts holding the table to the trunnion and realign the table.
