Use that dial gauge to measure the wobble but do this with no power - rotate the blade using the shaft on the left end of the headstock.

some one , maybe Dusty recommended I put the sanding disc on the back side of the head stock and used it to turn the shaft , I now practice this , thanks ,,,and recommend it . I use a lot of thin kerf blades if anything is off a little bit the blade lets me know real fast. again the cut results will not be the same as a dedicated table saw because of the arbor , but it will be very very close .

Not me but that is a good way to get steady, continuous rotation.
