TS55 Alignment after saw dropped

[gjfunk]

A while back I had a TS55 sitting on top of its systainer which was mounted to a CT-22. I knocked it off and the saw fell a few feet and bounced around a little. It still cuts fine but the cuts no longer line up with the rubber/plastic insert on the guide.

Should I:
a) Adjust the saw so that it lines up with the rubber strip? If so how?
b) Buy new rubber strips for the three guides I have?

My preference would be a) as I don't really want to change out all the rubber strips. I just need to know whether this is feasible.

thanks,

Greg

If the saw is still aligned (and I'd check to make sure that your vertical angle is okay), you can buy a new rubber strip for the guide rail, or, I'm told, just peel the existing one off, move it out a little bit, and go through the strip cutting process (slow speed, shallow cut) again.

Greg,

Dan's got it right. If the saw is still "aligned" just move readjust the saw to the rail, peel the strips, reattach and cut hem again.

Thanks Bob and Dan,

I didn't realize you could reattach the strips. I'll reset them this weekend.

Or do the a) alternative by following the second procedure at page 12 of Rick Christopherson's TS55 Manual at Bob's site:http://www.bobmarinosbesttools.com/docs/TS_55_EQ_US.pdf

Can't leave you with one option now...

Thanks very much. That is the procedure I was looking for!

I apologize for any potential confusion this may cause, but I have chosen to not participate on this forum.

Thanks Rick,

Looks like I'll spend some time aligning. Your manual is very well written and it looks like it should be straightforward to get it back on track.
