CHECKING SLIDING MITER TABLE ASSEMBLY

To Check Miter Base Parallelism:

WARNING:

D

Begin by unplugging your saw. Failure to unplug saw

F

 

could result in accidental starting causing possible serious

 

 

injury.

 

 

Set saw up as if you were preparing to make a cut.

 

 

Tighten rail clamps, miter locking clamps, adjusting clamp,

G

 

etc.

E

 

Slide miter table (A) to the front of miter base (B) as far as

 

 

it will go. Place a reference mark (C) near the end of the

 

A

miter table as shown in figure 51.

C

Note: Front of miter base is on infeed side of saw.

 

Place a reference mark on one of the blade teeth (D) and rotate the blade (E) so that the reference mark on the blade is at the front of the throat plate (F).

Place a framing square (G) against the blade and align with reference mark on miter table. Measure the distance between the blade and the edge of miter table.

Note: Place framing square between carbide teeth and

 

measure from blade. This step will insure framing square

B

is square against blade from the front to back of blade.

Fig. 51

 

Remove framing square and slide miter table to the rear

of miter base as far as it will go. See Figure 52.

E

Rotate the blade so the reference mark on the blade is at the rear of the throat plate. Measuring from the same mark on the blade at the rear will eliminate the effect of blade wobble.

Place framing square against the blade and align with the same reference mark on the miter table. Measure the distance between the blade and the edge of the miter table at the rear.

Compare whether the front and rear measurements are

D

F

the same. If they are the same, proceed with checking the

G

 

miter fence alignment. If not, this indicates the miter base

 

 

 

needs aligning. Miter base must then be adjusted before

 

 

checking miter fence alignment. See TO ADJUST THE

C

 

MITER BASE section that follows.
