Table and Table Support Bracket
The bandsaw table secures to the table trunnions. The trunnions mount to the table support bracket and the table support bracket mounts to the band- saw unit. The trunnions are premounted to the table. To mount the bandsaw table:
1.Remove the two table support bracket mounting bolts from the bandsaw body.
2.Insert the alignment pin that positions the table support bracket to the bandsaw body. Place the table bracket on the body over the alignment pin and secure it to the bandsaw with the two bolts. See Figure 8.

3.Thread the locknut onto the table stop bolt and thread the bolt into the table support bracket. See Figure 9. Bolt adjustments are covered in the “Table Adjustments” section beginning on page 18.
4.Remove tapered pin from the table.
5.Slip the table past the blade through the table slot, rotate the table 90°, and set the table trunnions onto the bracket. Make sure the trunnion bolts drop through the support bracket.

6.Secure the table to the support bracket by securing the two trunnion knobs onto the trunnion bolts. Remember to position the table so that the miter slot is to the right of the blade as you face the front of the band- saw. See Figure 10.

7.Place the table insert in the table top and place the tapered pin so it fits snugly in the hole on the side of the table. Do not use excessive force.
NOTICE
The tapered table pin must be in position in the table when operating the bandsaw. This maintains the table surface flush with no edge for the workpiece to catch on.
