First check to make sure that the hinges are securely fastened to the door jamb. Gently try to tighten all screws but be careful not to over-tighten or strip the screw heads. It's possible loose screws could be causing the door to hang slightly making it fit improperly into the door jamb.
It's also possible that the door frame isn't 100% "true" and it could be causing the storm door to get caught along the top or bottom edge. You can check with a level to make sure that both sides of the door are plumb (perfect 90 degree angle). You can also use a carpenter's square to check that all of the interior angles in the door jamb are 90 degrees respective to each other.
If everything is square then it could be that the hinges on the storm door are not aligned properly. With the storm door slightly ajar use a level on the vertical edge both at the top and the bottom. It should, ideally, be the same as the door jamb. If it's slightly off you could try shimming either the top or bottom hinge as necessary to even the storm door until it is aligned with the door jamb.
If you find that your door jamb is not "true" then you may need to consult with a carpenter or storm door installation expert to find a way to trim your storm door or refit it for easy opening and closing. Many older homes settle over time and sometimes door jambs slip out of alignment. The door itself may still open and close as usual but it may have sufficient gaps on all sides to prevent it from getting stuck. The newer storm door may be too tight a fit and catching on a door jamb that has settled out of true.
I had a similar problem with my Ryobi table saw. I got out my square to establish true vertical, then tapped the motor housing lightly with a rubber mallet until the blade was at true vertical.
To adjust the bevel, (blade angle), loosen the black lever at the back of the unit, tilt the blade housing using the handle (this may require a fair bit of force) until the arrow on the scale is at 45 degrees then tighten the black lever.
True-ish - Option buttons are essentially the same as check box wearing a different coat. Your checking off options, or looked at another way, turning on or off different options. (Like a check box)
No need to choose 2 or more except dependant on the needs of the program/application in which you are working.
True - Scroll Bars are a means of sliding the content of a document or window around so as to see more content than can be displayed in the current sized window/document.
A scroll wheel on a mouse replaces the need to use the vertical scroll bar.
Side note.. There are now available "mice" with a sidways scroll wheel in addition to the vertical scroll wheel.
Sounds like the vertical beams are no longer vertical, but have been bent a little, so the unit has to travel a little further along the beam than it travels in a purely vertical direction. I don't know what other measuring equipment you have available, but I can picture checking this with an angle plate, a dial indicator and a vertical mill. Be sure to check it's squareness front to back and side to side.
Typically the fence is attached to the table and the table can be angled to create a bevel.
Using a square, align the table so it's square to the blade. Assuming your fence is square to the table vertically, you're good.
With most bandsaws I have worked with, there is a positive stop (typically just a bolt - the head acts as the stop) underneath the table so when you tilt the table, you can return it to flat without having to re-square everything up every time. Once you've got things square, make sure to adjust the positive stop too.
Be aware you may still have to compensate for drift with your fence, though.
Hello, Some wires got crossed here. A cube is a solid (a 3D object), whereas a rectangle and a square are 2D figures. You cannot compare a 2D figure with a 3D figure any more than you can compare say a parking lot and a highrise building.
A rectangle is a quadrilateral (closed polygon with 4 sides). In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. In a rectangle all 4 angles are equal, each measuring 90 degrees. All this is true for a square, except that all sides are now equal. So you can say that a square is a special kind of rectangle, namely, a rectangle with equal sides. Hope it helps.
If you look on the back of the saw where the pivot is, there should be a bolt on either side that should adjust how much bevel there is . As for a 90 degree angle, there should be a locking pin or stop to keep it from leaning out of square. Be sure that it is accepting the pin properly and that it is clean. Not sure if there is an adjustment on the sliding saw, but i know there wasn't on my dual compound mitre saw
