Blade Tracking and

Wheel Alignment

Blade tracking on the Model G0504 consists of adjusting the wheels to be nearly coplanar (coplanar=both wheels even and parallel), but having the outside edge of the wheel approxi- mately 0.020"-0.040" behind the inside edge of the wheel to compensate for wheel toe-in when the blade is fully tensioned.

Because of the large size of this machine and the wheel toe-in factor, this procedure is time consuming and requires a great deal of trial and error. Make sure you really need to perform this procedure before attempting it.

Also, to complete this procedure you will need to make four precision gauge blocks and have a 6' long straightedge.

To adjust the wheels to be coplanar:

1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!

2.Open the wheel cover.

3.Remove the blade.

4.Using 2x4’s, make four precision gauge blocks to the specifications shown in Figure 43.

Figure 43. Precision gauge block dimensions.

5.Clamp the gauge blocks to the wheels as shown in Figure 44.

position on wheels.

6.Place the straightedge across the top of the gauge blocks, as shown in Figure 45, and examine how the wheels line up with each other.
