Aligning Table
to ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, the table should be aligned so the miter
slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade.
Tools Needed Qty
Straightedge 2' ...................................................1
Fine ruler ...........................................................1
masking tape .....................................As needed
Wrench 10mm ....................................................1
To align the table to the blade:
1. make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as
described in the Tensioning Blade subsec-
tion earlier in this manual.
2. diSConneCt BAndSAW From poWer!
3. make sure the table is perpendicular to the
side of the blade and locked in place.
4. place an accurate straightedge along the
blade. the straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade (see
figure 39).
Note: Make sure the straightedge does not
go across a tooth. 7. Shift the table so that the distances are equal
between the straightedge and miter slot along
the full depth of the table.
8. taking care not to move the table further, re-
tighten the flange bolts.
9. verify the setting and, if necessary, repeat
this procedure until you are satisfied with the
adjustment.
5. Use the fine ruler to measure the distance
from the straightedge and the miter slot along
the full depth of the table.
— if the distances are the same, no further
adjustments are required.
— if the distances are different, continue with
Step 6.
6. loosen the six flange bolts that secure the
table to the trunnion brackets (see the figure
below).

parallelism.
