Forces from Wood
Tension (shown) bow, twist etc, etc, can make it hard for the feedworks to completely control the feed path, especially on the outfeed side. The wood must never be allowed to push sideways on thin sawbladesll
Forces from the Sawblades
Poor sidegrinding, excessive run-out, and some other sawblade imperfections can create sideways pressure on the sawblade.
Forces from the Machine
On many moulders and some ripsaws, the arbor is deliberately slightly out of square to the feed path, to help keep the wood against a fence. This is not a good idea with thin sawblades. On less expensive machines, the feed path may not be very straight. Imprecise arbors and flanges add run-out.
