Downfeed Stop Bolt
The Model SB1020 has an adjustable stop bolt to prevent the blade from contacting the table when the headstock reaches the bottom of its travel. If the blade contacts the table, or if the blade does not travel far enough to complete the cut, this bolt will have to be adjusted.
To adjust the downfeed stop bolt:
1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Adjust the downfeed stop bolt and jam nut shown in Figure 48 with a 14mm wrench, so the bandsaw blade teeth are just below the table surface when the cut is complete.
3.Tighten the jam nut against the base to pre- vent the stop bolt from loosening during use.
