Thanks for the help. I'm learning a ton everyday.

I put a carbide, 40t, thin kerf blade on there. It was like butter. Beautiful 45 bevel.

I feel dumb when it's soo simple. I guess I need more experience to tell when a blade is dull.

Yeah, table needs to be way more parallel to blade. It kinda cuts a bevel now, but barely, when tilted at 45, the miter slots are off by 1/16.
i guess that answers my above question.
Thanks again jpg and everyone for the help.
