Hi everyone.
Is there any way to tighten up side to side blade wobble in an older slip joint other than having it professionally done?
TIA

All good responses in above.

I have found the vice method or squeezing adjustable priers work fairly well. Be sure
to protect the bolsters with thin wood, leather, or thick painters tape. Don't over do
it- I have sometimes gone a little too far and made the blades too difficult to move.
