   1) Try another blade to see if the wobble is still there.

   2) I don't know how old your TS is but you should see if there's any play in the arbor.. (grab it and try to move it) if there is.. you've got a major repair on your hands.

   Actually, before the word 'major' is used, go to Delta's website and talk to them about the problem. They will be able to supply diagrams and details about the part replacement/adjustment and if you need parts, they can set you up. If you get the right person on the phone, it may be a pleasant experience. I know what you're thinking, "What are you on and where can I get some?" I had a pretty bad opinion of their service, based on the local shop. Once I called Delta directly, that changed completely. I don't know how long you have had this saw, but it has a 2 year warranty and is still on their site as a current model.

   Check the arbor washer for a spec of dust, this could be the problem. Put blade on saw, wear gloves and try to move arbor up, down, side to side. If there is any play you have a worn bearing.

   Seems like the arbour flange is a little wobbly.

   Check the arbour for run-out with a dial indicator. Might want to check the mounting flange at the same time.

   Seems like the mounting flange is off by a bit.  Any way of correcting this?

   You might try trueing it on a lathe if you've got one, simplest solution would be to buy a new one if available.Leon Jester

   The TS300 is a fairly recent model number, and should still be under warranty.  Contact Delta. 

   I thought the TS300 had a small ribbed belt....it's predecessor, the 36-600 did...?

   Actually I just looked it up and you are right, it does have a small belt.  Actually it is a internal cog-belt drive system.  Would this have anything to do with the blade problem?

   The belt shouldn't be able to knock the arbor out of true very much if at all.  If it's a new saw, exchange for a different one....you may have gotten a defective unit.
