Coplanarity Gauge (see Figure 54)

If the proper blade tracking cannot be accom- plished by adjusting the tracking as outlined on Page 29, the wheels must be checked for coplanarity and re-aligned.

To check if the wheels are parallel and copla- nar:

1.Make the "Coplanarity Gauge" shown in

Figure 54.

Note: For best results, straighten the 2x4 with a jointer before cutting.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Move the saw frame to its rearmost position. Open the upper wheel cover.

4.Place your coplanarity gauge up against both wheels in the position shown in Figure 55, making sure that the gauge fully extends across the wheels.

—If the wheels are coplanar (in the same plane), the gauge will evenly touch the top and bottom of both wheels and no further adjustments are necessary.

—If the wheels are NOT coplanar, continue with the following procedures to bring both wheels into correct alignment with one another.
