Aligning Table

To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first installed, the table should be aligned so that the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with a 34" blade.

To align the miter slot parallel to the bandsaw blade:

1.Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned.

2.Unplug the bandsaw!

3.Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the trunnions to the table.

4.Place an accurate straightedge along the blade. The straightedge should lightly touch both the front and back of the blade.

5.Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between the blade and the miter slot. The distance you measure should be the same at both the front and the back of the table.

6.Adjust the table in the desired direction.

7.Tighten the trunnion bolts.

Aligning Fence

To ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first installed, the fence should be aligned with the miter slot.

To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:

1.If the fence is mounted on the left-hand side of the blade, remove it and remount it on the right-hand side of the blade.

2.Loosen the 4 cap screws located on the top face of the fence.

3.Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of the miter slot.

4.Tighten the 4 cap screws, being careful not to move the fence.

NOTICE

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the side of the blade. Refer to the "Aligning Table" section.
