M1113 18" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

To skew your fence, do these steps:

1.Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately 3⁄4" thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On a wide face of the board, draw a straight line parallel to the long edge.

2.Slide the fence out of the way and cut free-hand along the line. Stop at the halfway point. Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.

3.Clamp the board to the bandsaw table without mov- ing it. Now slide the fence over to the board so it barely touches one end of the board.

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

5.Shim between the front rail brackets and the table as necessary to make the fence parallel to the edge of the scrap piece.

To compensate for lead when making straight crosscuts with the miter gauge, do these steps:

1.Set the miter gauge to 90° and verify that the gauge body is square to the miter bar, using a 90° square.

2.On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is per- pendicular to the front edge of the workpiece.

3.Starting where the line begins, cut the board by pushing it through the blade with the miter gauge.

4.Loosen the table trunnion mounting bolts, and shift the table to compensate for the blade lead.

5.Repeat Steps 1 & 2 until the blade cuts straight when wood is pushed through with the miter gauge.

NOTICE

If the table is shifted, the fence will be affected since it is attached.

NOTICE

Lead adjustments will change when new blades are mounted on the saw.
