Hi,
I just got the G0803 and the table assembly seems very loose. I have the l=
ock lever and Adjustment knob pretty tight and the table/trunnion still not=
icably moves. Is the back bolt on the underside of the table meant to unsc=
rew in order to help with stability?
Am I just not tightening the knob and lock lever enough?
Thanks,
L Chapman

Not good, it should be rock solid, relatively.

That might be a 90 degree indexing bolt.

Don't take this the wrong way but you have, if the saw is new, a $199.00
band saw. I spent about $2500.00 10 years ago to get one that I was
happy with. An inexpensively built saw is a often not going to get you
there.

I just got the same saw with the same problem! Turns out I hadn't put the black washer in before the lever. Tightened everything up!
