Miter Gauge Calibration
The miter gauge should be perpendicular to the face of the disc when it is set at 90° and mounted in the table slot. If not, follow this procedure.
Tools Needed | Qty |
Try Square or Machinist's Square | 1 |
Phillips Screwdriver #1 | 1 |
To calibrate the miter gauge, do these steps: |
|
1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.Use a try square or machinist’s square with one edge against the face of the miter gauge and the other
against the disc face, as shown in Figure 20. | Figure 20. Squaring miter gauge to disc. |
3.Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and adjust the face of the miter gauge so it is flush with the edge of the square, tighten the gauge lock knob, and verify the setting.
4.Loosen the degree scale pointer, position the pointer on 90˚, then
5.

Table Tilt Calibration
When the table tilt is set to 0˚, the table should be positioned perpendicular to the sanding disc face. If it is not, follow this procedure.
To calibrate the table tilt, do these steps:
1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
3.Loosen the table tilt lock handles and adjust the table angle until it is perfectly perpendicular to the disc, then tighten the lock handles while holding the table in place.
4.If the angle pointer stickers on both ends do not point to 0˚, remove them and place them on the trunnion so they point to 0˚.
5.Recheck the scale accuracy with the square.
