Squaring Crosscut

Fence to Blade

Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be square. This procedure consists of cutting a piece of scrap plywood five times, then adjusting the fence as necessary.

To square the crosscut fence with the blade:

1.Make sure the blade is parallel with the slid- ing table.

2.Prepare the scrap test piece by numbering all four sides as shown in Figure 80.

3.Use the crosscut fence to cut 1⁄2" off of each side of the test piece, then cut side 1 again (make 5 cuts total).

4.Measure the test piece diagonally from cor- ner-to-corner as shown in Figure 80.

—If both measurements are not within 1⁄16", then the crosscut fence needs to be adjust- ed. Proceed to Step 5.

—If both measurements are within 1⁄16" then you are finished with this procedure.

5.Loosen the hex nut shown in Figure 81 and rotate the hex bolt to square the crosscut fence.
