Sliding Table

Parallelism

To adjust the sliding table parallel with the main blade:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table), and raise the main blade as high as it will go.

2.Loosen the sliding table mounting nuts (refer to Figures 82–84).

3.Make a mark near the edge of the blade with a felt tip pen. This will allow you to take your measurements from the exact same place on the blade.

4.Using an adjustable square or a dial indica- tor, measure the distance (A) between the miter slot and the front of the blade as shown in Figure 85.

Note: Use a dial indicator for the most accu- rate results.

5.Rotate the blade 180° and slide the table with the measuring device to position (B) in Figure 85.

6.Measure the difference between the two positions (use the feeler gauge if using the adjustable square). Make note of the differ- ence between the two measurements.

—If the difference is less than 0.004" then the blade parallelism is correct.

—If the difference is greater than 0.004", then the sliding table needs to be adjusted. Continue with the next step.

7.Push the end of the table that is closer to the blade out half the distance noted in Step 6.

8.Repeat Steps 4-7until the gap between the blade and the sliding table is equal.

9.Tighten the table mounting nuts to secure the sliding table and replace the access plates.
