    Is there any way you could show how to correct this? I know it’s different for every saw, but I just can’t seem to get mine alligned. I’ve spent countless hours on adjusting it, but it just seems to get worse when I try to correct it. I’m currently unable to get my sawblade alligned with my miter slot in the cast iron top. A full video on how you set up your saw would be amazing if you ever get the chance.
    Loving the content, have a good one

      Joe - are you using a sliding tablesaw or a cabinet saw?

      @@joejr.971 hi Joe - adjusting the toe out varies depending on your saw. Higher end models have a built-in mechanism to make minute lateral adjustments to the slider position. My saw doesn't have that so as part of aligning the sliding table height and travel, I also tried to get the toe out close to where I wanted it. I was mostly focusing on getting the sliding table at a constant height so the toe out was secondary. My final toe out adjustments were made by slightly pivoting the position of the cast iron portion of the saw. For me, this was a better approach than trying to laterally adjust the sliding table since I had spent so much time getting it sliding at a constant height and I didn't want to risk changing that. I know that doesn't really tell you how I did it but I hope it gets you started. Are you on Instagram? I've got a number of slider related posts that may interest you. If you search for the tag #bedrosianslidingtablesaw you will find all of my posts.

    I don't think your test is that accurate. I have one of these saws from Laguna, and I would check run out by pushing the table all the way forward and then measure to blade. Then pull the table all the way rearward and measure to the blade again.

      Thanks for the comment Robert. With a dial indicator, you don't have to go the full length of the slider to measure the toe-out. In my case, I can see that I have about the right amount of toe-out just by measuring over the diameter of the saw blade. In your comment, you talk about run out which is different than toe-out. Are we talking about the same thing?
