TS75 Riving Knife amount of play?

[Kev]

Curious about the amount of play people feel they're getting. I get about 5mm play leftright at the tip, this seems consistent with the nature of the mechanism when I have a look under the cover and observe the play in the mechanics of the saw.

Is this the normal state?

Kev,

Some lateral play isn't a big deal. As long as the riving knife goes into the kerf, it's doing its job.

Thanks Shane,

It certainly seems ok, just a little more "slop" than the ts55. I ask because it was insanely tight when I undid it and I just wanting to make certain I hadn't adversely impacted the mechanism.

Kev.
