Charlie, I’m not bringing up the alignment issue again. It was just a general comment.
Anyway, I just happened to run into the elevation lock issue today. I don’t have a dado blade yet, but needed to cut some handles into the sewing box. I used the TS to nibble the waste away, but the longer it ran the lower the blade went. Remembering this thread, I checked the knob on the elevation handwheel and it was tight. I looked in both manuals and both describe the knob as holding the handwheel on, nothing about locking the elevation.
