Table Stop

The positive stop under the table (see Figure 19) allows you to repeatedly square up the table after adjusting the table to another angle.

To adjust the positive stop:

1.Loosen the large hex bolt in the center of the table trunnion as described in the “Table Tilt” instructions.

Bolt

Jam nut

2.Loosen the jam nut on the positive stop bolt shown in Figure 19.

3.Raise the upper blade guide assembly and place a 6" machinist’s square on the table against the blade as shown in Figure 20. Notice how far out of square your table is and approximate this distance by adjusting the positive stop up or down. Turning the positive stop counterclockwise will raise it and clockwise will lower it. Adjust the posi- tive stop so the table will stop at a 90° angle (square) to the blade.

4.Lock the positive stop by tightening the jam nut. Do not let the stop turn while tightening the jam nut. Tighten the large hex bolt in the center of the table trunnion.

5.Set the angle pointer to zero on the table tilt gauge.
