I have a hybrid cabinet saw. its a new craftsman model # 22124. i bought this saw about 1 year ago and i am ready to throw it in the trash can. i consider myself an intermidiate to professional woodworker and i work to tight standards when it comes to machine maintanance and tolerances. i cannot seem to get this damn saw working to my standards. after being adjusted it ussualy falls out of parralell to my miter slot and fence within a week. i would assume from being bumped. my real problem recently has been alitle more puzzleing to me. the saw is heeling bad only when the blade is tilted. i removed the table for clarity and noticed that when the front and rear trunion brackets were slightly out of wack causing the trunion to have allitle play. so i removed the trunion brackets and the trunion from the cabinet. as i began to disect the broblem further i wondered what if the problem wasnt the trunion brackets and perhaps the trunions themselves. on my particular model the front and rear trunions are tied together by 2 cast iron tubes. im not sure what the tubes are called. maybey the “yolk” anyways im am wondering if the trunions have been racked side to side causing them to not be parallel with eachother. i have looked on the internet and ask a million people. i can not get an answer or find any articles that go in depth about how to check if the trunions are parallel to eachother. is this a comon problem with these designs where the two trunions rack and cause the saw to heel when the blade is tilted to an angle. any help would be great. im at the point where im ready to hire someone to come help me. haha. and sears doesnt have one knowledgable tool technition  to answer any of my questions. the one guy that they sent out last time told me i was crazy to worry about anything outside of a 16th of an inch i told him to take a hike. a 16th of an inch on a cabinet saw is enough to loose a few fingers if you ask me. never mind the fingers, how would i produce fine furniture with that tolerance. haha nobody understands the tolerances in wich a fine woodworker works with except FINE WOODWORKING magazine and all of theyre forum members ofcourse. so i thought i would ask one of you.

also when im remounting the trunions to the trunion brackets do i squeeze the trunion snug beetween the two trunion brackets. because when i did that it was way to dificult for the worm gear to even tilt the trunion mechanism. when i leave just alitle room theres way too much play. there is no happy medium between the two.

i am having a whole world of different problems with this saw, excessive vibration from what i think is sloppy pully fit and belt memory. also when the blade is raised all the way the blade moves about .010 of an inch toward the fence. the worm gear has a whole turn of play in the tilt mechanism from the collar slipping on the worm shaft. i have a big job due in about 2 weeks and my tablesaw is in pieces around the shop so you could imagine that im a bit fed up right now. ha ha  if i can fix just the trunion problem ill be a happy camper. thank you verry much and i really do apreciate any help at all.
