I have a Ryobi BT3000 table saw and have owned it for about a decade. More recently it has become difficult to raise the saw. The apparent reason is that the casting that carries the motor/arbor is somewhat loose in the vertical guides.
Unless I reach in and lift the far end where the play is most noticeable, it is basically impossible to raise the blade with the handwheel. See photo at Otherwise it wants to bind against the vertical guides. I don’t see any way to adjust the mounting to take out the significant play. Is it possible that a shim has gone missing that would otherwise keep the motor true in the guides?
Grateful for any advice ….
