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 two cap screws that secure the fence rail to the underside of the table (see Page 26).

5.Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of the scrap piece.

6.While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap screws loosened in Step 4.

7.Make a few cuts using the fence. If the fence still does not seem parallel to the blade, repeat Steps 1–6until the blade and fence are parallel with each other.
