General 650 table saw

the gin and tonic was the right way to go

I’ve never had to correct mine, but in case I do, I’m waiting to see the answers! 8^)

Did you try loosening the table top? That’s how I’d do it on my Grizzly. Loosen 4 bolts and rotate the table top to align to the blade.

On a unisaw you loosen the four bolts that hold the table then square with the blade. then you adjust the fence.

-- hey honey! watch this!

its a trick… but moving the table is the best option

-- making sawdust....

After loosening the four bolts that hold the trunion to the table top nothing wanted to move, ie the big hammer. By the way the only way to loosen the four bolts is to have VERY skinny arms that have at least four joints or be ready for a lot of bandages from forcing the entire arm through the blade opening. General tucked two of the bolts so deep under the table that they can only be seen with an inspection mirror and a flashlight. There are no instructions in the saw manual but then the manual only is two pages long and the rest is a parts list. There has got to be something I am missing here. Thanks for your help so far…

Don’t know about the General, but on a Jet cabinet saw, there are four bolts at the cabinet corners, which are easily reached outside of the cabinet. I typically loosen three of the four bolts and leave the fourth a bit tight. I use the tight bolt as a pivot point and work on the alignment from there.

OK ok so here is what i found… I checked the inside of the saw again, ( with flashlight and an inspection mirror), and still saw nothing different than before so I knew that the trunion was attached to the table. I checked the two pages of instuctions and the parts drawing and saw nothing that would indicate anything that was different than what I was seeing with the mirror. As bedtime approached I was telling the misses what trials and tribs I was having and that everyone one on LJ said that the trunion should not be connected to the table and that the table top could be loosened and moved to correct the problem, she said it could! (Women have such memories) She told me that we had taken the top off to lighten the wieght of the saw to get it out of the truck when we brought it home many months ago. In nighttime attire I headed back to the garage, turned on all the lights, got the flashlight, tilted the saw as far as could, opened the door and got the flashlight, part of one shoulder and most of my head inside and sure enough the trunion was not connected to the table top. So as this long story continues… “Just loosen the bolts holding the table top on and tap it into the right alignment. Dang, that was easy! (...and I was wondering why my hair was gray.)
