Delta 10" Radial arm saw

Have a Rockwell delta , When the saw head is moved back and forth to
cross cut it feels rough, I checked the bearrings and they seem fine
and the 2 tracks that they ride in are smooth and clean.

Any ideas would behelpful Thank You in advance

Does it feel rough when sliding the saw head, but not cutting wood or
is it just rough when cutting the wood?

The tension of the rollers on the tracks should be just enough to
provide a slight resistance when pulling the motor without any side to
side motion. It should ride very smoothly. The rollers have an off
centered mounting hole to allow for the tension adjustment. If there is
no side to side play, the rollers may be adjusted too tight. If there
is any side to side motion, the rollers are too loose. make sure the
rollers are turning and not sliding when you pull the motor along the arm.
