I have a Delta hybrid cabinet saw that I purchased used. I was fine tuning it and have run into a problem when I tilt the blade to 45 degrees it contacts the throat plate. I have adjusted the trunnions over as far as they will go but the there is still contact. Aside from getting a throat plate with a larger opening what are my options?
Thanks, Panos

Panos,
That is an odd problem and one I have never run into, so I am at a loss to make a suggestion.
Is the blade centered in the slot when the blade is vertical? Any chance the plate isn't the original? I suspect that the plates from other brands of saws might fit the Delta but the slot might not line up.

The blade is not centered in the slot it is offset to the side I am having the issues with. I think you may be correct about the plate not being the original one because it looks like it was modified to fit the splitter. Thanks for the reply, Panos.
