slight problem with saxton oscillating saw blades

[big-all]

been using them for years now as my go to cheap reliable source
i noticed today a blade wasnt 100% level and parallel to the clamp end it was perhaps 2 degrees out
now in general not a problem as most jobs tend to be give or take 2-5mm
but as i wanted as near to 100% accurate as possible i took the time to level as it only takes a few seconds
the way to check a bit off say 2x1 or ruler hold the clamp end and timber together and look at the blade gap along the length
solution place the blade in a vice /workmate/clamp to flat surface with a clamp
then with pliers gently tease each side off the 2 arms as near to the blade joint off the clamp area as possible to what you expect it will need [1to2mm/degrees max
you then remove and recheck and select the nearest arm to the parralel with blade in hand adjusting with pliers till correct then level the other arm
now the point i am making is a machine on line and a blade following a different path will just get worse and worse and never better where as machine and blade in sink can give good accurate results

Can’t say I understand your problem, or your solution.
