Squaring the Blade

It is always a good idea during the life of your saw to check and adjust this setting. This adjustment will improve your cutting results and extend the life of your blade.

To square the blade to the bed of the table:

1.UNPLUG THE BANDSAW!

2.Lower the head of the bandsaw all the way until it contacts the horizontal stop.

3.Place a square on the table bed and against the edge of the blade (Figure 47), and check different points along the length of the table between the blade guides.

4.Loosen the cap screw shown in Figure 47, and rotate the blade guide until the blade is vertical to the bed, then tighten the cap screw.

Note: Both blade guides can be adjusted to achieve the results you want.
