50526 "Mike Stevans" <mds@o...> 1998‑09‑25 Miter boxes
Hello G.G"S.I have a couple of questions about miter boxes and saws.I
bought a new Jorgensen miter box and saw at Woodworkers warehouse a last
month.This is one of those miter saws that is an overgrown hacksaw with
guide bushings and such.
I cant get it to cut square in the vertical plane.(X and Y axis are right
on the Z axis cuts on a taper.)I was wondering if anyone else has had this
problem and perhaps fixed it.There doesn't seem to be any adjustment for
this.I've tried different tensions on the blade,but that didn't work.I
would appreciate any advice on this.That said I ran across a SRL miter box
and saw(I think the saw was a Disston)I dont know what to look at to see if
this complete and in saveable condition.The dealer wants $50 for it
is this a fair or going rate?Well any help on this will be greatly
appreciated.Thanks

Best Regards Mike Stevans
