"Will this cause future problems"

Yes, absolutely. I guess if returning it is a huge problem, you could ask Ridgid to send an arbor out. That's a whole lot more trouble than just swapping the machine, in my opinion.

Be sure there isn't just a burr or something keeping the blade from seating. An out of true arbor flange is a very unusual occurance.

Yeah, Zock, I hear ya. Had the same prob w/my TS2424. Called Ridgid Hotline and they sent me a new arbor, pronto (as in overnight).
Make sure it's not the blade before you call by:
1. Laying the blade flat on top of the table and make sure it's flat
2. Put a runout gage on the arbor, or
2. Try another blade

You've got a good saw for the money. Let us know how it goes.
