I have pretty new Delta 36-725 table saw and I have done everything to align the blade to the miter slots as best as I can. I don't have a special gauge to measure but use a combination square to measure it and I think I am getting it within .004-.006 of square by actually adjusting the motor mounts. The fence is square to the miter slots as well.
I have been ripping some pretty dense Rosewood and I have been using a large shop vac (not sure the model, but it's the biggest available at lowes) hooked up to the dust collector port. I have tried ripping 2x4 pine also and it happens then as well.
With that said, while I am ripping the wood the saw constantly throws shavings and saw dust at me. I end up covered in dust and debris, the table is covered, the floor and my shelves behind me get covered, etc.
I have used 2 different blades, a 50t marbles blade, and a 60t blade from the local wood shop that they say they use for all of their cuts (not sure the brand) and I have the issue with both of them.
The issue is making my shop a mess and making it not so much fun to work on stuff because it's uncomfortable getting dust and debris thrown on my arms and my face...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
