Pointer Calibration

Your new bandsaw is equipped with a fence mea- surement system that includes a fence pointer, which must be calibrated when the bandsaw is first set up.

To calibrate the pointer:

1.If the fence is mounted on the right-hand side of the blade, remove it and re-install it on the left-hand side of the blade.

2.Place the fence flush against the bandsaw blade (Figure 35).

Figure 35. Example of fence flush with blade.

3.Loosen the pointer adjustment screw (Figure 36) and set the pointer in line with "0" and the measurement scale on the table.

4.Tighten the pointer adjustment screw.

The miter gauge needs to be calibrated to the blade when it is first mounted in the miter slot.

To calibrate the miter gauge:

1.Place one edge of a machinist's square against the face of the miter gauge and the other against the blade face, as shown in Figure 37.
