blade isn't true
« on: July 05, 2010, 08:55:41 pm »
i have a dremel, it seems the blade sorta wanders back n forth wander may not be the word, it vibrates back n forth like the hold downs are loose is it my saw or do i need to put my glasses back on?
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

Hey yguy, The Dremel saw is not one of the best saws out there. But if it cuts true, then don't worry about the side to side movement.

Crank up the tension. Also when the blade gets worn it will wander also. Some woods do this also.

I would say blade tension or blade wear.  What type of blade are you using??  I have had trouble in the past with "cheap" blades...

Now I use Flying Dutch or Olson and have had no problems with that...

That is funny, I usually wait until the next morning when I'm suffering from a hangover when I deside to quit drinking.

Oh come on now!  You don't really want to be known as a "quitter" do you?  Keep it up until you get it right!
