Table saw problems?

I have a table saw by Ryobi which I bought in Germany. It's not under warranty anymore. Anyway I noticed on a project the other day that my cuts werent coming out square and when I carefully checked my saw I noticed that the guide itself isnt square. When I set it to the length I want to measure it's ok, but then when I tighten it down it goes off true. Any ideas or recommendations?

    SOME OF US IN THE "CUTTER WORLD " USE KENTUCKY WINDAGE

    AS YOU SET THE FENCE ON SQUARE MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM FENCE TO SAW AT BOTH ENDS IF THE FENCE IS BENT THEN THE CUT WILL NOT BE SQUARE RIGHT? RIGHT SO WE OVERCOME AND ADAPT TO COMPENSATEW THIS

    OR CHEK THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND SEE IF THEY HAVE MOVED COULD BE UNDER THE SAW AND MOUNTINGS

    CHECK ER OUT AN GET BACK TO ME

    The same happens to me in my Ryobi bandsaw.

    On the other hand, I have a Delta table saw which is equipped with an excellent guide.

    I don't like ryobi guides and I am considering to buy a better bandsaw.

    Maybe you should do the same with your ryobi table saw.
