Parallelism | Woodstock W1410 manual

E. PARALLELISM

If your table saw has been properly adjusted, the saw blade should be parallel to the miter slot. If your blade and miter slot are not parallel, refer to your table saw manual to adjust the saw blade to the miter slot correctly. Disconnect all electrical power to the table saw and follow all safety rules before you make any adjustments to your table saw.

Align the front edge of the fence to the front edge of the miter slot. Check to see if the fence is par- allel along the length of the miter slot.

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot is somewhat misleading in that it should not be adjusted perfectly in line. The back end of the fence should fall away from the miter slot approx- imately 1⁄64" so the workpiece clears the opposite end of the saw blade without binding. Figure 17. This is called “lead” (pronounced leed). You don’t have enough lead if there is “feather” or burning on the wood as it is being cut.

CAUTION: DO NOT cut from the right side of the fence if lead was adjusted for cutting on the left side of the fence. The wood will pinch and could cause dangerous kick-back.

To adjust the fence to the miter slot:

Step 1.

Unlock the fence and loosen the right hand setscrew (#32). Figure 18.

Step 2.

The right roller is mounted off-center on its axle (eccentric) so that as the axle is rotated, the roller will move from front to back a small amount. Since the rollers are firmly held against the front rail, this has the effect of changing the alignment of the fence with respect to the miter slot. Do not rotate the axle more than 180° in either direction. First, try moving it in one direction while watch- ing the relationship between the side of the fence and the miter slot. Figure 19. If half a turn is not enough to align the two, go back half a turn to the starting point and proceed in the other direction until the fence is properly aligned.

NOTE: The nut under the right roller could come loose during adjustment. If this occurs, lock the axle by tightening the setscrew and then tighten the nut. Use a liquid thread locker on the nut if the problem persists.
