Delta 31-483 Adjustments, Adjusting the Table Tilt, Squaring the Table to the Spindle

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE TABLE TILT

For any bevel sanding operation, you must use a table insert with an oblong-shaped opening. Failure to do so may lead to serious injury and / or damage to machine or the

work piece.

•Loosen both table tilt locking levers. (see Figure 10).

•Tilt the table until the pointer is at the desired angle.

•Re-tighten both locking levers.

SQUARING THE TABLE TO THE SPINDLE

When sanding with the table positioned at 90°, it is important that the table surface be square to the sanding spindle. Periodically, it is a good idea to ensure proper alignment between the table and spindle.

With a spindle installed, use a square to check the position of the table relative to the sanding spindle (see Figure 11). The square should be flat against the table and the spindle from both front and back.

If the table and sanding spindle are not square, use the following procedure.

•Ensure the table tilt indicator is at 90°.

•Unlock both table tilt levers .

•Adjust the fixed stop as shown in Figure 12.

•Lock both table tilt levers and use a square to re-check table/spindle alignment.

•Repeat steps 2-4 until the table surface and sanding spindle are perpendicular.

•Make sure the pointer reads 90°. If the pointer needs to be adjusted loosen the screw and adjust to the correct position.
