RIDGID 10 in. mitersaw problem

[JOHN HAKE]

I have 10 in miter saw when i make miter cuts at the bottom of the base trim it starts to tail away . what would cause this ?

[chrisexv6]

Loose or bent blade

Wobbly arbor

90 degree bevel/table adjustment (is there an adjustment on the saw for it?)

Try this: take a 2x4 and stand it up (4" high). Make a 90 degree cut. Take the right side of the cut and flip it over again (4" high, but opposite the way it was). Push it back up against the other cut piece. You should see no gap. If there is a gap, 90 isnt true 90 (pretty sure you'll see this, judging from your "tailing away" description).

On my Bosch saw there are ways to adjust the 90, guessing the Ridgid might have one too.
