My teal Shopsmith Scrollsaw has been great to work with. My only concern is that after I tighten the table lock, if I rest my hands on the sides of the table, it will move a couple of degrees.

Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

My scroll saw is currently mounted on my SS 520. Just went out and checked with my digital angle Gage. There is about .1 deg. of table flex if I grab the outside edge of the table and try to flex the table. There is no movement in the table trunnions.
I normally Set the blade to 90 deg. every time I mount the scroll saw. If I fail to fully seat the 518274 Table Trunnion in the 518273 Base Trunnion the table will rock back and forth.

Thanks for taking the time to check on this!
