SETUP

Positive Stop

The positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accu- rately returned to the horizontal (0˚) position after being adjusted to a different angle.

To set the positive stop, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Adjust the blade tension to the appropriate level for the blade size on the blade tension scale (see Page 22).

3.Loosen the jam nut that locks the positive stop bolt in place, as shown in FIgure 20.

4.Raise the guide post and place a machinist’s square on the table next to the side of the blade as illus- trated in Figure 21. Adjust the table square with the blade using the table tilt handwheel, then secure with the table tilt lock lever.

5.Adjust the positive stop bolt so it just touches the table and secure it by tightening the jam nut against the bandsaw.

6.Check the adjustment for accuracy once you have tightened the jam nut.

7.Loosen the screw on the table tilt scale pointer, but do not remove it.

8.Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on the table tilt scale, then tighten the screw to secure the setting.
