      The detents have a little play, and you need learn how work with that variation. I gently nudge to the left after selecting the detent, then gently synch it in place.
      It is what it is.

    Holy crap, thanks for making this! I have this same model and I didn't use it for quite a while and when I was last using it regularly, it was just to trim up some stock and nothing that needed to be terribly precise. I got it out about two weeks ago to start a project and was getting terrible cuts in both dimensions so each corner of the 2x4 was a different length. Hard to butt joint with that. Followed all the steps in your video thinking it was in need of a tune up but none of it solved it as it was only slightly off. It wasn't until you mentioned blade warping that I found my issue! Not sure how long I would have assumed it was the tool before thinking of checking that. Getting perfect cuts now, thank you so much!

    Nice video demo. My fence is off about 1/16" in the center like an arc..(i.e. center of left and right adjustment screws. throwing my cuts off. adjusting left and right side does nothing. Should I toss it? or is there a fix? (i can fix it with shims) but its annoying!😁

    • @Caliber8Tools
      @Caliber8Tools  Год назад

      If the shims are too much of a hassle, replace it. Seems like a manufacturing flaw.

    • @AlexRicketson
      @AlexRicketson 2 месяца назад

      I had the same fence issue and just solved it! The best thing to do is cut the fence in half into two separate pieces. That horseshoe shaped piece in the middle isn't necessary and it's just holding you back. After you cut the fence into two pieces pick either the left side or the right side and square it up with the blade. Once it's perfect, use a straight edge (a level works well) to align the other fence in a straight line with the fence on the other side. Then you're all done and the fence will be perfect on both sides of the blade.

    Thank you for mentioning the blade can be warped. I have been watching many videos to see what it was I was doing wrong in squaring my saw.. and I just didn't understand why it wasn't cutting straight. I told someone I thought it was the blade and they just thought I was doing something wrong.
    Well I got fed up and took the blade off and come to find out... It was VERY warped. Just from being locked into an older u square saw I think. As well as being stored incorrectly. But it was barely used.
    Anyway. No other video has mentioned this, that I've watched.
    Thanks for helping me to feel less crazy haha

    My Ryobi was impossible to square up because the back fence was bowed, so I could get one side of the fence perfect but not the other. But I just found a solution! I cut the fence into two separate pieces. Then all you have to do is square up one side of the fence with the blade, then when it's perfect use a straight edge to set the other side of the fence in line with the other side. This has bothered me for years and I'm glad I finally figured out a solution.

    I have a brand new Ryobi compound miter saw that has a problem not mentioned here at all. The slider arm appears not to be squared with the table. the fence is square to the table, but if you lower the blade at the rear, it is pretty well centered in the groove, but if you bring the blade forward on the slide rails it come close to one of the sides of the groove. Any pointers on getting this fixed? it's only about 1/2 a degree off, but if you need something really square it's horrible.

      @@Caliber8Tools not unless it happened during shipping to the store, but the box was in perfect condition. I guess taking the fence out of square may solve the issue, but the OCD in me HATES that solution. Also if I use a blade with a bigger kerf it may actually hit the wall of the groove, when fully extended :/ Unfortunately it's been just over a month since I purchased and only just started using for anything requiring much accuracy.

    • @Caliber8Tools
      @Caliber8Tools  2 года назад

      It’s a reach but, could be the groove itself is not square, but that’s definitively a manufacturing issue. If it’s not a blade issue and assuming it didn’t get banged up in transit then it’s probably the former. May have to replace it.

    Hi there! I was wondering if by any chance you would be able to help me with my situation. I’ve got this sliding mitre saw which is aligned in every possible way but one which I really can’t find a logic or a reason. Bevel, fence, blade and table are perfectly square, the blade is new… yet if I slide the saw to the far end while holding the speed square flush, the blade just goes slightly away from the speed square. At first I thought it is something to do with the fence adjustment but I kept fiddling with it with no success. Any idea? I’d really appreciate if you could help. Cheers!

    My new dewalt miter saw has two bevel guides (left and right side) if one is zero, the other is 1. Is that to account for blade width?

    • @Caliber8Tools
      @Caliber8Tools  2 года назад

      It’s called a dual bevel saw. The blade angles can adjust to the left or the right as opposed to a single bevel saw which can only adjust to one side. As far as accounting for blade width, not sure that’s an issue with the bevel but good question. I’ll look it up.

    • @Caliber8Tools

    When my blade is in the down and back position my blade is in the middle of the throat plate(yellow/green plastic guide that the blade slides back and forth in) but when I slide my saw forward my blade pinches against the left side of the throat plate when it gets to the end of the forward slide. So my blade is not centered in the throat plate. How do I adjust that?? The blade is square to the fence and the blade is square to the table, and both miter positions are locked at zero.

    I have a Ryobi 10 Inch Mitre Saw and the bevel cut will not go to 0⁰ i can try and force it from 2⁰-0⁰ but once i start cutting the lock cant hold it, and the pressure pulls it back to 2⁰. From what i can tell without taking it apart. Theirs nothing jammed in the mechanism.
