I have a Rigid table saw that always seems to cut inaccurately. I found a YouTube video about the fence and even 3D printed some new parts, which helped it cut straight at 90 degrees. However, when I angle the blade, it cuts about 3/8" off over a 3-foot cut. This suggests that the blade isn't moving uniformly from front to back at an angle. Where should I begin to resolve this issue?

First, try squaring the blade to the miter slot and then do the same for the fence. Some saws have adjustments for the blade, while others require you to loosen the tabletop and adjust it from there. Getting those aligned is usually a solid start!
Everything's set right at 90 degrees. The issue only surfaces when I'm using angles. I did a 4-foot cut recently after adjustments, and it's totally straight then!
