5.Make sure that the blade is perpendicular to the face of the support bearing, as illustrated in Figure 27.

—If the blade is perpendicular to the face of the support bearing, continue on to the next step.

—If the blade is not perpendicular to the sup- port bearing, loosen the lateral adjustment rod cap screw and guide block assembly cap screws (Figure 26) and rotate the assembly side-to-side until it is perpen- dicular to the face of the support bearing, then re-tighten the cap screws.

6.Loosen the bolt on the support bearing adjustment shaft.

7.Using a feeler gauge, position the bearing 0.016" away from the back of the blade, as illustrated in Figure 28, or use a dollar bill, as shown in Figure 29.

8.Tighten the bolt to keep the support bearing locked in place.

Aligning Table

To ensure cutting accuracy, the table should be aligned so that the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with a 13⁄8" blade installed.

To align the table so the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade:

1.Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Loosen the four trunnion cap screws that secure the table to the trunnions (Figure 31).

Cap Screws

nion.

4.Place an accurate straightedge along the blade. The straightedge should lightly touch both the front and back of the blade. Note: Make sure the straightedge does not go across a tooth.

5.Use a fine ruler to accurately gauge the dis- tance between the straightedge and the miter slot. The distance you measure should be the same at both the front and the back of the table (see Figure 32).

6.Adjust the table as needed for proper align- ment.

7.Tighten the trunnion cap screws when the alignment is correct.
