Adjusting Main

Conveyor Table

The conveyor table can be adjusted left-to-right and front-to-back to make the table parallel to the blade in both directions. This is an involved procedure that requires you to cut up a piece of test stock and make many repeat adjustments. Because of the complexity of this procedure, we will first give instructions on checking the table, so that you can be sure you need to perform the adjustment.

Before attempting these procedures, you need to have a perfectly squared piece of stock that is as wide as possible and is at least two feet long. The wider the stock, the more accurate your proce- dure will be (we recommend using the maximum width that the resaw will allow). Also, you need to make sure that your blade is in good condition, tracked, and tensioned properly, and the blade guides are properly adjusted.

To check the main conveyor table alignment:

1.Cut a 14" slice off of your squared-up test stock.

2.Use a caliper to measure the thickness of the cut piece in even locations along the edges of the stock. As you take these measurements, write them directly on the stock, near the location where you took the measurement (see Figure 59). Note—DO NOT measure the first and last six inches of the board, because the board will only have been under one pressure roller during that part of the cut.

3.Study the written test measurements.

—If the measurements are more than 0.030" different from one side to the other, adjust the conveyor table.

To adjust the conveyor table left to right:

1.Disconnect the resaw from the power source!

2.Use your test board to determine which direction the conveyor table needs to be moved. For example, if the right side of the board was thicker than the left side—you will need to move either the right side of the conveyor up or move the left side of the con- veyor down.

3.Loosen all six of the conveyor mounting bolts (see Figure 60).
