733 blade adjustent - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

sgimbel · 10-10-2009, 09:51 PM

I've had my Dewalt saw about a year but am just now going to get serious about scrolling. I reversed the lower blade lock so I can tighten it with my left hand because my right hand is totally numb (MS). I thought I'd try something new and see if my blade is square. It is not left to right or forward and back. The left to right is off by about an 1/8" at the bottom. I can't find my manual, moved from Arizona so I don't know how to adjust it back to square. Are the instructions simple? I'm even going to try to get away from spiral blades, where I can. Any help would be appreciated.

I played with the saw and figured it out. I'm now square again.

No problem Scott! 33 and 88 look almost the same!

I've had mine for several months (used) and just last week figured out my blade was out of wack (Thanks Dale for insisting that your blades don't bend.... hehehe)
