ADJUSTING UPPER BLADE GUIDES

AND BLADE SUPPORT BEARING

The blade guides must be properly adjusted to prevent the blade from twisting during operation. The upper blade guides and blade support bearings should be adjusted only after the blade is tensioned and tracking properly. To adjust, proceed as follows:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2.Remove two screws (A) Fig. 22, and remove blade guard (B) from guide assembly.

3. The upper blade guides (C) Fig. 23, are held in place

by means of the screws (D). Loosen screws (D) to move

the guides (C) as close as possible to the sides of the

blade, being careful not to pinch the blade between the

guides. Then tighten the screws (D).

4. The guides (C) Fig. 23, should then be adjusted so

that the front edge of the guides are just behind the

“gullets” of the blade teeth. The complete guide block

bracket (E) Fig. 24, can be moved in or out by loosening

screw (F) Fig. 24 and moving shaft (G) Fig. 24 in or out

as desired. When guides (C) Fig. 23 are set properly,

tighten screw (F) Fig. 24.

5. The upper blade support bearing (H) Fig. 24,

supports the back of the blade during the cutting

operation and also prevents the blade from being

pushed too far to the rear, which could damage the set

in the blade teeth. The support bearing (H) should be set

about 1/64 behind the blade by loosening screw (J) and

moving shaft (K) in or out. Then tighten screw (J).

6. The upper blade support bearing (H) Fig. 24, should

also be adjusted so the back edge of the blade overlaps

the outside diameter of the ball bearing by approxi-

mately 1/8 . The bearing shaft (K) is on an eccentric and

to change bearing position, loosen screw (J) and rotate

shaft (K) until correct adjustment is made. Then tighten

screw (J).

7. MAKE CERTAIN TO REPLACE BLADE GUARD

THAT WAS REMOVED IN STEP 2.

28-195 specifications

The Delta 28-195 is a renowned table saw that has garnered a reputation among woodworkers for its precision, reliability, and ease of use. This powerful tool is designed to handle a variety of cutting tasks, making it a versatile addition to any workshop.

One of the main features of the Delta 28-195 is its robust 1.75 HP motor, which delivers ample power for cutting through dense materials with ease. This performance is critical for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists who demand high-quality results. The saw operates on 120V power, allowing for convenient plug-and-play usage in most home workshops or job sites.

The Delta 28-195 boasts an impressive blade capacity of 10 inches, enabling users to make clean, precise cuts across a wide range of wood types and thicknesses. The table itself is generously sized, providing ample workspace for large projects and facilitating straightforward material handling. The table is also constructed from durable cast iron, ensuring stability while reducing vibrations during operation, which contributes to enhanced accuracy.

Another highlight of the Delta 28-195 is its advanced fence system. The fence is easy to adjust and locks securely in position, allowing for quick and accurate measurements for ripping tasks. The presence of a large and easy-to-read scale enhances operational efficiency, making it simple for woodworkers to set the desired dimensions before making their cuts.

Delta has also incorporated several safety features into the 28-195 model. The blade guard protects users from accidental contact with the spinning blade, while the riving knife helps prevent kickback, an essential aspect of safe table saw operation. Furthermore, the saw includes push sticks and other accessories to aid in maintaining safe distances from the blade during operations.

Dust collection is another critical area where the Delta 28-195 excels. Equipped with a 2.5-inch dust port, the saw connects easily to a dust collection system, helping to keep the workspace clean and reducing airborne particles, which can be harmful to health.

In conclusion, the Delta 28-195 table saw combines robust performance, advanced features, and enhanced safety, making it an excellent choice for both amateur and professional woodworkers. Its blend of technology, durability, and efficiency ensures that users can achieve precise cuts time and time again, making it a worthy investment for those serious about their craft.
