The blade guide bearings must be properly adjusted to make square cuts. One bearing on each assembly has an eccentric bushing that allows it to be adjusted so the blade is square to the vise. The bearings are secured in place by a hex nut and lock washer, as shown in =`^li\,'.

Before adjusting the blade guide bearings, make sure that you have squared the blade to the table as discussed in the previous section.

)% Position the vise to 90°, then lock it in place.

*% Put a machinist's square against the face of the vise and move it over to the blade.

—The square should evenly touch both the face of the vise and the blade. If it does, skip ahead to

Jk\g-.

—If the square does not evenly touch the blade, but it does evenly touch the vise, continue with the next step.

+% Loosen the hex nuts that secure the eccentric bushings attached to the guide bearings.

,% Adjust the bearings as necessary to force the blade to be 90° to the vise, then re-tighten the hex nuts.

-%If any of the bearings are not touching the blade evenly, loosen the hex nuts and adjust them so the contact surface of the bearings touch the blade evenly.
