Clarification
The term axial refers to the movement of the shaft in a linear fashion along its rotational centerline. This allows the saw blade to wander within its kerf, making the kerf imprecise and wider than it should be.

Headstock (quill) axial play
I have owned a Model 10ER for over 30 years, and yesterday I bought an old (1981) Mark V. Everything seems to work OK, but I can move the saw blade axially about .030 inch. My old unit is very tight, so I think this must indicate a need for adjustment or new bearings. Any advice?
