After 3 consecutive unsuccessful glue ups I was beginning to think that cutting a few pieces of wood, slapping some glue on them and clamping them together was just beyond my skill level. I ended up with hairline or even bigger gaps in at least one joint on each one. I found that the problem is with my table saw. After cutting angles the blade isn't returning to 90* (or zero?) even though I crank it till it stops. I'm assuming there is sawdust built up somewhere in the mechanism/arbor that's keeping it from returning all the way. I don't have an electronic angle finder but that would be nice to have right now. As soon as I warm up some more I have to get started with this.....28* in the building where my saw is right now...This should be something I can remedy with a brush and air hose without taking anything apart and therefore changing any other settings right? It's a Sears 10" contractors saw. The bottom is open to access. Thanks
