General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Delta 40-694 table not square to blade front to back
« Last post by DanO on August 21, 2024, 03:19:44 am »I have the same saw with the same problem and have learned to adjust how I put the blade in the clamps.
Instead of placing the blade spine against the clamp and then tightening it up I make an adjustment by moving the blade away from the clamp either at the top or bottom, just a 64th or 32nd should do it. I tighten the bottom first just snug enough to hold the blade and then use my square to know when to tighten the top clamp. Pre-stretch the blade and make minor adjustments as needed. Took a little practice. Yes the blade will not be perfectly straight up and down but it should be pretty dang close to square to your table.
I believe it will work out for you.
