Sliding compound mitre saw problems...

[rppp]

Initially I believed the saw blade was bent but after installing a brand new blade today I had the exact same problem. The cuts are not straight and as you can see from the image the wood is tight against the blade at the front but towards the back appears a few mm off and this is straight after the cut before I have moved the wood. The problem is made worse when using the sliding function, does anyone know how this can be fixed??

Many thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to the forum. You need to make a couple of posts before you can post photos, and for some reason I can't seem to open the image you have linked to.

Hi there, okay thanks. No suggestion on the SCMS?

I can't quite understand the problem so some photos would help. Even a blade that is bent will still make a straight cut just with a wider kerf - much like an adjustable groover on a spindle moulder.
