Bosch 5412L problems

[Bargain-Center]

I have a Bosch 5412L dual bevel compound slide mitersaw and I am having problems aligning the blade. I bought it used and had to replace the blocks in the slide, but I still cannot get the blade to adjust to run true. It always cuts at a slight bevel, can anyone give me some advise on how to adjust it correctly?

Have you tried the adjustments given in the manual? - which is here:

I thought this sawmillcreek.org thread on blade wobble in the Bosch 12" Miter saw was interesting:
Bosch 12" slider blade wobble "fix" - Sawmill Creek

(I don't have one of these saws myself. The 12" saws are too scary. I have a Craftsman 10 inch sliding miter saw, which is almost identical to the Kobalt 10 inch sliding miter saw at Lowes.)

Yes, I have tried what is in the manual, I found that online as well. The problem I am having, if you have read the instructions on calibrating the blade at 0 degrees, it the blade is perfectly square in the down position, as the blade comes up, it comes up at an angle. So I can not get a 90 degree cut. I have tried adjusting the slide blocks and recalibrating and keep getting the same problem. Its like there is a twist in the head of the unit, but it is made out of pot metal and would surely crack if it was bent that far out of wack. I read the other post as well, and maybe it is the bushings that hold the blade, but I would think that the angle would change depending on the position of the blade but it is always the same. About a 1/8 inch off in 4 inches. Down all the way perfectly square, up 4 inches and the blade is away from the square about an 1/8th of an inch.

Hello, have you been able to find a solution anywhere? I have the EXACT same problem. Mine moves to the left at a slant as the blade is lowered.
