HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM

OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight tine

PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE ,. therefore both the

miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be

PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE

tf 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"),
