Well, the saga continues. Went to the shop with a fresh attitude this afternoon. Saw was just as I left it, old blade on and at tension (no guides). Ran the saw several times, blade tracked beautifully, just up against the wheel flanges. So, now I’m going to do exactly what I did about 5 times yesterday (I know if you keep doing the same thing, you’ll probably get the same results??) so I roughly preset the required twist in the blade using a big crescent wrench, then I slipped the guide assembly in place and snugged everything down. Rollers both had a few thou clearance and back roller was .050 away from the blade. Got my camera ready to take a video of the blade immediately coming off when the saw was turned on. Well, I’ll be an sob, the blade stayed on???. No idea why? ?Ok, I’ll put the lower guide on, that’ll surely kick the blade off. Did that, saw runs just fine. WTF, what’s going on here. This is with no adjustments to the guides, same setup I was trying last night. So, now I tweaked the rollers a little bit, just to keep things in line and to make sure the rear rollers aren’t going to push the blade off, or whatever was going on. Put all the guards back on and I’m going to take a test cut???. Have everything adjusted so that the back up rollers aren’t rotating until there is cutting pressure on the blade. Side roller guides can be moved with my fingers. Time to cut! Just trying some 1 1/2 inch aluminum rounds that I have. Two cuts and the discs that fall off range from .064- .067 thick. I have not a clue what is different from last night to this afternoon. I’d like to thank everyone that offered ideas, and I’m surely a lot more familiar with how the guides work on my saw than I was before, and I don’t know why it’s working now, but I’ll happily accept that it is.
