These forums are psychic-like, twice this afternoon now. Saturday somebody gave me a 9” Ryobi because he upgraded to a 14” model. My first try of a short piece of 2×4 just to see resulted in exactly the same effect as itsme experienced. The blade twists to the right. I spent time futzing with the blade guides to little effect. I’d be scared to set the fence parallel to where the blade wants to go, because where it seems to want to go is rightward until…sproing!!
Isn’t it worth at least swapping out the blade for better quality, like Timber Wolf, before consigning it to the junk corner. It should be suitable for light work at least. So you’d think. Otherwise what’s the point of the thing. (I couldn’t see the link Dick posted without a subscription.)
