sole plate adjustment

[srdumo7993]

My question is, is there any way to adjust the sole plate on my Makita 5007NB? It is off from the blade about 3/32" to an 1/8". I'm about ready to 'bend' something or bend something straight. Thanks in advance.

Hey Srdumo,
There isn't really any way to adjust your plate..you might need to replace you angular plate [your shoe or base plate attaches to it]..also check your blade for end play..you may have some issues inside the gearbox with the spindle or gear and that is throwing it out..
hope this is helpful..
