Title: EX 21 question..
Post by: dunk on November 02, 2010, 09:37:46 am

RE the ex 21 do you notice  much back and forth movement of the blade, from front to rear when sawing.  As if the blade is moving in a elipse?  I'm thinking of upgradng and if it has the same problem my 10 year old 788 is developing I'll just get  a new 788.

Thanks for any feedback.

Very little.  Not so you would notice it while cutting.  If you put a square to it, it is not square but the blade runs very close to true up and down.  I cut a lot of jigsaw puzzles and if it had a lot of back and forth movement, my pieces would not slide together from either side easily.  I also cut a lot of 2" walnut for box sides and have no problem.  Ray at Seyco can answer all your questions.

G'day
I found with my Excalibur 21 inch. There is three  bolts. on the motor   loosen the three bolts just enough so you can turn the motor back and forward  . Hold  a small piece of wood against the back of the blade and turn the motor slowly back and forwards until there is no wobble back and forwards . Then tighten your bolts up again. Mind had the wobble   really bad and that stopped it completely . Cheers from Bob down under
