I have an older, gray scrollsaw. It mounts the the M5. The other day, working on a project, I noticed that the blade, before starting a cut, was moving right and left about 1/16". It settled right down as soon as the blade was in wood.
Is this an indication of a problem?
If so, how does one fix it. (Listen to that, I need more shop time!)
