My saw does have knobs in the center of the wheels. I’ll check them out tomorrow. Of course my manual says nothing about them, I’ll check the manual South40 linked me too. I think for any future projects, I’ll find a way to avoid 45’s all together.
I have that exact article you linked to in a book I bought. I think it’s called 50 top table saw tips or something like that. It’s over in the shop. I’ll get the title tomorrow. It’s been a very handy book.
