HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE

GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight line PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE . . . therefore both the miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be PARALL:EL to the SAWBLADE,

If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge groove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (This is known as "HEELING").

To check for parallelism:
