Dewalt saw modification - Gregor1 - 04-25-2022
I have owned this Dewalt model DW744 job site saw, for many years. I have always had trouble getting the blade at 90 degrees to the table. The adjustment mechanism was kind-a hokey in my opinion. I removed the eccentric wheel and made a micro adjustment. I can turn either acorn nut, depending on which way it needs to go. I hope to some day have a uni-saw, or a Powermatic. My plans are to use this saw mainly for dado cuts, so having the blade at 90 was important to me. I have the degree pointer, and crank off for the pic.[attachment=41833]

I had the same problem but was not as smart as you. I found a nice Jet table saw on Craig's List and gave away the DeWalt.
Smart thinking on your part..
