Hi,recently got my saw and have only been using it a week. I am making a MFT with 18mm birch plywood, and in the process of making the plate dead square in all corners it seems that every cut I make get a "snipe" in the beginning of the cut. When I plunge down it cuts closer to the rubber, and as soon as i get started pushing forward it cuts slightly further out. Not much, but too much when making a MFT. The rail lies steady on the plywood with clamps in both ends. Have tried to differ in the amount and direction of the applied pressure without success.
I tried to measure the distance from the blade to the slot wich goes on the rail under the saw bed, and noticed a slight difference when barely plunged to fully plunged.
If anyone could come up with suggestions/similar experiences/solutions I would be thankful!
Another thing: I noticed the plunge action is pretty rough and "uneven", the spring scrapes on the metal where it goes up into the body and makes the plunge "jumpy", making unwanted dives into the material more likely. Is this just how its designed? Anyone else with the same experience?
