3.Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with- out moving it. Now slide the fence over to the board so it barely touches one end of the board.

4.Loosen the four cap screws on top of the fence.

5.Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of the scrap piece. You may need to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to gain maxi- mum adjustment.

6.While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap screws.

To shift the table:

1.On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is perpendicular to the front edge.

2.Cut halfway through the board on the line by pushing it into the blade.

3.Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.

4.Loosen the table mounting bolts. Shift the table to compensate for the blade lead, then retighten the table bolts.

5.Repeat Steps 1–4until the blade cuts straight.

Table Tilt

Personal injury or death can occur if the bandsaw starts during table adjust- ment. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing table adjust- ments.

The bandsaw table will tilt 5˚ left and 45˚ right to provide a wide range of cutting options. Remove the positive stop bolt to tilt the table to the left.

To tilt the table:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the lock handle on the table trunnion shown in Figure 42.
