John,
No, the saw hasn't been dissasembled -- at least, not other than removing the blade guide hardware to examine it.? Nothing associated with the pivot shaft -- spacer included -- has been changed, until I started messing around with the M10 bolts that attach the support arm to the sawframe.? BTW, the location of that joint kind of baffles me in terms its supposed function? (to adjust the horizontal alignment of the sawframe relative to the pivot shaft)? and the geometry, because the right-hand pivot joint should oppose rotation around it.? The direction of adjustment also doesn't look like it is purely on the horizontal axis, either? I have to conclude that the adjustment done there is normally expected to be quite small, certainly not enough to address my problem.
So I'm still left being flummoxed and frustrated by what's going on with my saw.? Something clearly has shifted, but where the heck is it??
