Don't forget the drive belt. This is often an overlooked item, when the belt slips your blade slows down and you get a wavy cut. The wider cuts are often when this shows up.

Maybe that's part of my problem. I'll have to check it.

I always watch the blade coming over the sawn face on the gig back, it's easy to see if you are getting any waves that way. Often I can hear when the blade is cutting waves because the guide rollers start to get quiet, the blade either is not contacting them anymore or with only light pressure.

Right on the sound of the blade when cutting, soon as it gets real quiet it's diving.  He was sawing the whole cant without removing the boards so  watching the blade on the way back would'nt work in this case.   Steve

Today I tightened my drive belt and also tensioned my blade tighter than I've ever done before. It seemed to help. I detensioned my blade afterward-- first time I've ever done that, other than to change one out.
