All 4x6s need fiddling, chuckle. Both of my $100 finds needed work . The first one gave me a few years, I'm on the second one now.

I have the same saw and that's cheap! I paid more and still had to fiddle.
But it cuts like a champ now (albeit not perfectly square cuts)

Isn't that what lathes and mills, are for?

That's the same as my early '80s BusyBee. It's a Taiwanese RongFu . Mine needed the guide "slot" to be filed to get a square cut. That took me a couple of years to find the problem. The rest of the upgrades were basic machining.
On my to do list are hydraulic downfeed, then I can do sheet metal, and a coolant flush . The last own made a table for vertical cuts.

It's time to start thinking shaper, this is a perfect use for the shaper. And don't forget to grind another shear tool, they work great on the shaper as well.......
