Table Parallelism
To position the blade line parallel to the miter slot:
1.Ensure that the bandsaw is not connected to a power source, and install the widest blade available.
2.Loosen the 6 bolts securing the trunnions to the table OR loosen the 3 trunnion support mounting bolts securing the trunnion support to the bandsaw. Leave the star knobs tight. Figure 22 shows the location for these con- trols.
3.Lay a straightedge against the left side of the blade so that the straightedge touches the front and back side of the blade.
4.With a fine ruler, measure the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the miter slot. This measurement should be taken at both the front and back of the table. If both mea- surements are the same, proceed to step 6.
5. Rotate the table in the desired direction until the two measurements at the front and back are even.
6.Secure the table by tightening the bolts. Make sure the table did not shift. If you con- tinue to have problems with this, see the ÒBlade LeadÓ instructions.
