Also Ben I'd be looking to get better than 1mm run off over 60mmYour advise has been top notch cheers guys nearly there on the vertical slope it's close enough now really just under 1mm over a 60 mm cut, I do strive for perfection tho ha, well it was going well until blade got jammed an came off. I put the blade back on but when I went to put tension on the blade it pulled the drive pulley slightly an just span till it hit the stop at back and the tension knob started turning on the shaft so I've stuck it back on with some lock-tite, I went around tightening all the bolts on the saw as a few were lose ish I'm wondering if maybe I've tightened one of the bolts on the sliding bracket or something. I didn't have time to mess with it got late so I'll have a look tomorrow night
That doesn't make sense though. If it was a manufacturing fault it wouldn't of been holding the blade and taking the cuts. I think he's sheared, twisted, bent, bust or snapped something when he threw the blade.carrier something is amiss (likely from manufacture).

Ben both the big idler wheel and the part you photo'd are connected to the sliding carrier. As you wind the handle in it draws the sliding carrier which the big idle wheel is connected too. Have you actually checked this is happening. Is the carrier moving and is it moving the idle wheel behind the cover?
