I have the 1023 SL table saw (bought less than 4 years ago) and it has not been cutting smooth of late. Thought it was the blade (Forrest) so I bought another one and no change in the cut. I checked the set up and everything is aligned well. It has been making a humming noise at times. My thought is it needs a new arbor bearing. But at less than 4 years old would a bearing go out this soon? I do this as a hobby so the TS gets about 5-10 hours average of use a week in the shop over the last 4 years. If not the bearing what else can be causing the bad cuts? (leaves scoring marks on the rip cuts, never did this before)
Thanks,
Rick
