Hi All - I've got a reasonably nice cabinet saw (jet 3hp) with a good Oldham combonation blade. The table and fence have been aligned and are all within spec. Also, runout has been checked and is also acceptable. I use a vibration dampener with the above mentioned blade.
When cutting mdf, I can see the blade "wiggle" left and right. It's sort of like the blade has bogged down with sawdust and binds. If the feed rate is varried at all, the wiggle is worse. I can lay the ripped material on the tabletop and visible see indentions where the blade has moved and therefore not cut straight.
Is this operator error or something else? Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks
Jeff
