Sounds like a Jeffery Toobin kind of opportunity to me.
especially if they are in-person meetings.

Not totally sure what happened to destroy my pinky like it was. It wants to curl now anyways. Maybe I'll be perma-fancy??
Check your blade runout?
Was tuning the sliding miter saw last night and had to throw in the towel. It'll cut square to the fence at 90*, but tilted at 45* it's 1/16" off across a 10" span. UGH.
The only thing blade runout will affect is kerf width.
I want to try that Indian joint as well as this place: https://goo.gl/maps/oHjeZz1s1VRCSsxi6
Not so sure about that. Worn arbors, bent blades, etc could certainly have an effect on cut straightness I'm sure. The effect of cut depth and bevel angle in addition to those issues, I'm not so sure about.

I've checked runout at 90* and it's acceptable, certainly nothing that would explain what I'm seeing. Arbor wear would be interesting, let's go give things a wiggle and see.
Arbor (drive spindle) end play could cause what you’re seeing. What about the bearing / bushing that the saw swings on (sorry don’t know the proper term)? It seems like even a little play there would lead to problems - especially when the saw isn’t swinging in a vertical plane…that seems too obvious after writing it out.
I took a look at 3 2500 gallon water tanks this morning. At $1000 a piece they’re a bargain. Now I just have to load, transport and unload them without killing anyone. It’ll be good practice for the 5000 gallon tanks I have on order…

Is it off in both directions? If so, is it off in the same direction, by the same amount?
If the truck stop is Quealy Dome on route 80... your boy is being smart. Those Sikhs are legit. They definitley bring the real deal. That exit happens to be the one I take when heading to my in-laws out in the sticks.
Methinks I've found it...a bit of slop in the slider bearing allows the assembly to rack at full extension when tilted. If I relieve the weight by picking up the weight of the head, boom, square cut.
That's what I was getting at by those questions. I'm assuming you see the cut drift to opposite directions depending on the side of the cut angle.
I do hope you are not wearing pants for the duration.9 hours of meetings scheduled today.
I have the new Bosch glider. Haven't had to do a glide cut at 45 yet. Full length cut at 90 is dead square.
You probably would, but I seldom tilt the saw to the left. I hate cutting with my non-dominant hand.
That's likely what I'll get when it's time to replace this one. But it was free and in great shape, so I haven't had much reason to spend the $650.
In normal use, definitely. In trying to troubleshoot the cause of the cut alignment issue, it would be one of the first things to try.You probably would, but I seldom tilt the saw to the left. I hate cutting with my non-dominant hand.
Cut stays "off" in the same direction = non-flat/square frame or angle alignment issue
Cut moves with side of cut = flexing/deflection of the blade and/or arm
Or just say fuckit and get a bigger bucket of spackle.
Spackle is a funny word
spackle.
I tried that initially, but the cuts weren't too bad, so I didn't thibk much of it. One of the bearings is notably worse than the other, so it manifests worse when tilted to the right as that bearing takes more of the load. Took a little to run through all the other variables before I got to the bearing.
Now to dish out $60/per bearing.

damn wrong way driver on a divided road just tried to kill me. I drove up on the sidewalk to avoid them. Luckily no clients on board with me

He at least has a nice alleyway (I think, assuming thats the back of the house).Not to be a dick. . . But Jesus Christ your neighbors are close.
They build them like whats seen below here now, the eaves are pretty much touching. And these are all (or were...
) million dollar homes.Google Maps

Get those cuts nice and precise then find out nothing is really square in your house.
Crammed housing is the thing these days. Stupid large multistory with no yards or privacy
I'll take my 50 year old single story 1700 Sq ft 3 bdrm house on a 10,000 Sq foot lot over that anyday.

Pretty much. Got a staircase to do and measured the rise per step yesterday between 6 1/2" to 8 1/4". Close enough.
God I hate the Back bay. 
One of them has truly shitty parking and a horrible street layout in general.

Heh. No offense taken. My house is 3,272 finished sq ft on a 6,332 sq ft lot iirc. So yes, not a large lot—that’s how they are in this neighborhood. Better for efficiency and we have enough of a yard.
And yes, that’s the alley. Houses load butt to butt from that alley.
That building pattern is why California has such a housing shortage. Which in turn is why there are so many homeless. Boomer mentality.
