TSV 60 - wobbeling scoring blade.

[MartijnS57]

Hi,
I’m new here and just bought my first Festool saw, the TSV 60, to cut a lot of melamine and HPL.

I’m trying to align the scoring blade with the main blade, but I’m not getting the accuracy that everyone claims this saw has.
The main problem is that the scoring blade engine is loose. The mechanism does not stay accurate; there is movement of more than 1.5 mm.
When I tilt the saw to 45 degrees, the entire engine body slides to the right side of the mechanism, along the axis of the scoring blade mechanisme.

I’ve attached some pictures to illustrate the problem. Does anyone else experience the same movement in the scoring blade engine?
I’m assuming I’m doing something wrong, or that there is something amiss with my model, because you can dial in the scoring blade to 0.0125 mm, but that seems useless if the blade slides left to right on its axis.
What locks the left to right position of the scoring blade.

Can anyone spot an error in the mechanism? What am i missing

The saw is brand new, but I bought it a year ago. I only took it out of the box this weekend and am now trying to align the two blades (my kitchen project was delayed by a year, which is why I’m only using it for the first time now).
The saw ran less then min , just testing the alignment Didnt drop it. The sad part is i forgot tot register for waranty within 30 days...

Thanks in advance for any tips or help. If any one can post a close up picture of there turing wheel that would be great i'm assuming i'm missing a locking part...

Sorry to hear about your situation. If I were in your shoes I would contact Festool and set up a warranty repair. That is a specialized, more complicated saw and a flagship item. I wouldn't want to go thru figuring out what is wrong if it was still under warranty.

Like Peter mentioned, contact Festool service and explain the issue you're having. If you can provide a sales receipt, I'm sure Festool will still honor the original warranty.
