SOURCE: Blade Alignment?

ok yep your blade is out of alignment with the fence. It is closer to the fence at the rear than the front. You need to make the modification or adjustment to your fence, if it allows that, and then worry about the miter slots later (which should be adjusted miter slot to blade, not miter slot to fence). You might be able to adjust the miter slot to blade by moving the actual table and then securing witht he table mount bolts. Check your manual for how to align the fence.

You do want to fix that though as it can be potentially dangerous and result in kickback of the workpiece which is a rather SCARY thing, and very dangerous.

SOURCE: My Powermatic 66 table saw won't start.

Your saw motor is equipped with a two speed internal start switch. Over time saw dust will get into the contacts and cause the points to burn. You can pull the end off of the motor and take some 400 grit sandpaper to the contacts to clean them( there are two sets of contacts one works in the out position the other in the in position) it will be the set in the in position that is the problem. Gentle clean them, reassemble the motor end cap and it will work fine. I have to do this about once a year to my saws. I use my saws about 25 hours a week. I have been doing this to one of my Powermatic saws for 31 yrs. now.

SOURCE: How do I align the saw blade with the saw table

The Blade Arbor is held to the bottom of the table with mounting screws and stop/adjusting screws. Loosen the mounting screw and adjust the stop screws to make Blade true with miter slot.

I found a copy by going to the Sears Parts Direct website, then select the link on the right that says "View Manual". It will take you to the Manage My Home website, where you will find a button for "View Manual".

I would upload to Fixya, but I cannot get the Manual upload link to work.

Interesting problem. There are two axis of rotation that need to be at right angles to each other, and they aren't. These are the axis of the saw arbor, and the axis about which the saw tilts. You probably cannot adjust this (which means the misalignment is a manufacturing defect). But it's worth a look to see if you can. Find the axis about which the mechanism rotates as you tilt the blade. If this attachment of this axis is via a bolt which tightens down on a mounting hole, you can increase the size of that hole and adjust the location of the bolt by trial and error. However, if that hole is a bearing surface (and the axis rotates in it) then it would require disassembly, and re-machining on a milling machine to re-locate the hole and put in a larger OD bushing.---- probably not worth the money unless you have your own milling machine.
