I would recommend Toshio Odate's book Japanese Woodworking Tools - Their Tradition, Spirit and Use.

Continuing on the alignment journey: I have now taken the spindle apart in order to replace the bearings, and make sure I can lower this thing without the spindle hitting the trunnion bracket. When reading the big thread again, I am a bit confused about the usage of shim washers. Is this...

Yes, it went on perfectly, without any modifications or issues.

Completely understand. I tend to fixate on the numbers, once I see them :) I may put some grub screws on there later. At least now I know that the current state of the "tongue" is likely normal. Is the process of doing that documented somewhere? It doesn't seem immediately obvious to me...

I still need to mount the fence rails, so I can move on to aligning the fence, but I did a quick test cut with the miter fence set to 90 to see if I got a better result now, compared to before. I did not. The cut was out by about 1.5mm over ~10cm. This led me to take a closer look at the miter...

I guess I'm lucky 😅, because that bolt is all the way in (as I think is visible in the photo reference above?), but I tightened it a bit more, just to be sure. I'll assume there's no way it would go all the way back in, if it didn't thread into the inner collar..

That's the one I thought you meant. I've definitely had it all the way out whilst everything was being cleaned, and I'm not sure how snug it is at the moment. I will make sure I tighten it! Excellent! Then I will put the whole thing back together again, and move on to the fence. I can satisfy...

They seem pretty snug, but I will verify this later. It's neat how every little part on these machines seem to serve multiple purposes! I'm not in a rush, but let me know if you happen upon one :) I've verified that the belts stay clear of the top! I'm not sure which screw you're...

This makes total sense. I will definitely take this into consideration, but may still keep it as a background project for now, as I have no immediate need to make bevel cuts on the table saw. I attempted to measure how much the motor pulls on the retaining strip. I had to manually hold it in...

Thanks for the info, deema. I think I understand the solution you're proposing, and how a more "proper" setup would put more equal pressure on the sliding bracket. I may attempt it later, if this deviation causes the blade alignment to be too bad, given that you're indicating my current...

Hello there, I recently bought and "cleaned" my first table saw, which I documented over on the Canadian forum: My Wadkin Bursgreen 10" AGS - Canadian Woodworking and Home Improvement Forum Once I started trying to align the blade to the mitre track, I ran into difficulties. This showed...
