@Gina Uhm, how did you even do a crooked cut with a table saw? 🤣
Did your fence wander around during the cut or the piece wasn't flush to the fence? It looks like MDF, so it's not any stresses in the wood being released.
I don't know this saw, if you grab either end of the fence, does it wiggle? It should be locked down tight both ends.
@yngmar i think its because I used a long board with an uneven side that I had to halfway through adjust so that it would line up with the fence again.
Aka if the side of my board was actually straight I wouldnt have to manually adjust and the rest would be straight as well.
Ans yes I did try to make the side of the board straight.
@Gina Ah, that can't work. If your workpiece doesn't have any straight side you can make one by using a known straight plank at least as long as the workpiece. Tack them together and run the straight plank along the fence, cutting the connected workpiece. Now you have a straight side on the workpiece and can run that along the fence to cut the other side too.
Dream: "I'm going to make custom furniture with all these cool tools and joinery techniques, plus I know how to turn a table saw on so I could technically build a house."
@yngmar@Gina these saws are notoriously imprecise. Your best is to go get a large carpenters square and first square up the blade to the table. Then use it to keep the fence square every time you move it.
Also sometimes the arbor inside the drive unit is either non square rotationally, or has a lot of runout (play) due to cheap bearings. There isn't much you can do about that short of swapping out the arbor or the entire saw.
@Gina nothing serious. It's a store own-brand one (Titan). But I used to work for them and had a go with one so I'm pretty confident it will be okay for me. 😊
