Speed Dial Problem

I'm having a problem getting the speed dial to adjust to a slower speed. I can adjust speeds up and down normally and easily from C throuh the top speed. When I try to turn the dial below C I run in to a strong resistance and if I leave it there for a little bit I can't get it to go back up to the ...

I'm not sure what IMHO means, but I"ve gotten good service from Rockler and would not put them in the same cataory as Harbor Freight. Just my personal experience.

Thanks

New SS owner of Old SS 510

I am the new owner of a SS 510 manufactured in the mid 90's I think. Been throught the alignment procedures but not getting the square cuts that I expected.
