Dang, we're a buncha ol' hippies here, aren't we? :-)

I'm amazed that no one's mentioned this prime Prine:

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks.
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks.
He was level on the level, shaved even every door.
He voted for Eisenhower, 'cause Lincoln won the war.

..who else could turn a verse like this, huh? *S*

Down the hall upstairs from me
There's a girl I swear I never see
I hear the ringing of her phone
She must live up there all alone
She hangs her clothes out on the line
They're hanging there right next to mine
And if the wind should blow just right
She could be in my arms tonight

He was just here (London, Ontario). Missed him this time.. I'm sooo
pissed off.
Buy the DVD Live from West 54th.. he does a duet or two with Iris
DeMent... priceless.

Just like the other one.
This one burnt to the end.
C'mon and be a real friend.

Don't bogart that joint, my friend.
Pass it over to me.
You've been holding on to it,
And I sure would like a hit.

I read a long time ago in a woodworking magazine that some of these saws
only problem was that the bolts that held the table down were too soft.
Replacing them with a higher grade bolt often solved the problems. I am not
saying it will work for you but it couldn't hurt to replace the table and
trunnion bolts and see if that helps.

If you are really looking for a solution rather than just moaning
(thoroughly understandable) you are going to have to be more specific. If
your problem is only getting a square cut then tell us what you did with
your miter gauge to assure that it is 90 degrees to the blads.

Since all of your static adjustments seems to have been made and remade
(I'll assume you've been doing it in accordance with the users manual),
check the state of your arbor bearing. There should NOT BE ANY detectable
side or end play. If there is -- even a minute amount -- replace it or have
it replaced. A worn arbor bearing will permit the blade to wobble and cause
the symptoms you described.
