The skew the table, do these steps:

1.On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is perpendicular to the front edge. Starting where the line begins, cut the board by pushing it through the blade with the miter gauge.

2.Loosen the six trunnion bolts that secure the table (see Figure 60). Shift the table to compensate for the difference between the cut edge of the workpiece and the mark you made in Step 1.

Note: Keep in mind that as the table alignment is changed, so is the fence alignment.

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

4.Re-tighten the trunnion bolts to secure the setting.

Aligning Wheels

Wheel alignment is one of the easiest ways to ensure you get optimal performance from your bandsaw. When wheels are aligned, or coplanar, the bandsaw is more likely to cut straight without wandering; and vibration, heat, and blade wear are considerably decreased because the blade is automatically balanced on the wheel. This is known as “Coplanar Tracking.”
