    X2 paper trick.
    On a large saw the couple wraps of newspaper works well most times.

    After that if it "tracks" to one side a bit, I take a mid grit (600-1000, I think mine is 600) diamond stone...

    At that price, never mind.

    I liked the idea of power and speed control out where I can get at them w/o reaching under the table.
