Will not cut 45 miter cuts perfect
Blade, fences, table, and all adjustments measure true. New blade 90 degrees to table. wood is prep on jointer and planner and carefully measured. My son in law was cutting a 2 x 4 and did not support the back end of the 8'-0" oard and it kicked back and the cardbide blade bent at 90 degrees to the csurface of the saw blade. It also cut into my vertical back rest. Could the bearing be ruined? I looked at the shaft and it runs true.

Answers & Comments
Possible but I would think not likely
Try this
Put a new blade on
Set a magnet on the table or fence with phillips screw driver stuck to it
Slide the point of the screw driver up to within 1/16" from the blade just above the teeth
Run the unplugged saw by hand and watch for any side to side movement of the blade
Can you move the blade up and down or side to side?
If everything seems normal the plug the saw in and run it again watching the screwdriver
Please be careful don't allow the screw driver to contact the blade at high speed you will create a bullet
