Table Alignment

To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first installed, align the table so the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with the largest blade that the machine accepts.

To align the miter slot parallel to the bandsaw blade, do these steps:

1.Make sure the blade is correctly tracked and ten- sioned.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the trunnions to the table.

4.Place an accurate straightedge along the blade. The straightedge should lightly touch both the front and back of the blade (the flat part only) without touch- ing the blade teeth.

5.Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between the straightedge and the miter slot. The distance you measure should be the same at both the front and back ends of the miter slot, as indicated by positions "A" and "B" in Figure 33.

6.Adjust the table until the distance between the blade and miter slot is equal at both ends.

7.Tighten the trunnion bolts.

Fence Alignment

To align the fence parallel with the miter slot, do these steps:

1.Mount the fence on the right-hand side of the blade, at the edge of the miter slot, then lock it in place.

2.Loosen the two cap screws that mount the front rail brackets to the table.

3.Shim between the front rail brackets and table to make the fence parallel with the miter slot.

Tip: Shim stock works well for this, but small pieces of paper can also work in a pinch.

4.Tighten the front rail mounting bolts.

NOTICE

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the blade. Refer to the Table Alignment instructions.
