    Default cutting mitered joints on a dewalt d2400

    Just started using my dewalt, and its fantastic the best money i have ever spent.

    wondered if anyone has any tips about cutting mitered joints on it?

    i've been cutting them and noticed that its not completley strainght.

    I spent ages adjusting the machine to get it exactly at a right angle, and it s 100%. but still the miter vears off a bit at the end. I thought maybe this is because the size of the blade that maybe it bends a bit.

    When i cut miters i leave 1mm biscuit on the corner so it has some strength, maybe thats the problem??

    Its not a huge problem (we're talking mm's here) and i just give it a rub down, but wondered if anyone has any input?

    Thanks

    are you maybe pushing it too hard at the end!
    what about turning the tile around and cutting it from both ends?

    Mine does the same, also if you want to shave maybe 5mm off a tile the blade will wander to the outside. It seems as if the blade is too thin or too wide (diameter) to cope.
    I still love it though
