3. Slide the movable jaw by hand until the jaw
contacts the workpiece.
4. Rotate the vise handwheel clockwise to re-
engage the lead screw, and continue the
tightening process of the jaw until the
workpiece is securely clamped.
5. The quick release function can be used to
back off the movable jaw when the cut is
finished.
Miter Cuts There are two sets of holes in the base for
mounting the vise assembly. For miter cuts from
0° up to 45°, mount the vise assembly to the
rear set of holes. For miter cuts over 45° up to
60°, use the vise in the front set of holes. See
Figure 13.
To change the vise to the 60° position:
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Raise the bow out of the way. Make sure
the hydraulic cylinder is closed (valve
lever perpendicular to cylinder) so the
bow remains stationary.
3. Remove the two socket head cap screws
and lock washers which secure the vise,
and lift off the vise. See Figure 13.
4. Move the bushings from the first set of holes
to the other set of holes as shown.
5. Mount the vise to the new set of holes,
tightening the two socket head cap screws
and lock washers.
6. Remove the socket head cap screw (C,
Figure 10) to allow the bow to swivel.
7. The cutting operation will now take place at
the opposite side of the vise. Swivel the bow
until the pointer lines up with 60° on the
angle scale, and tighten the handle.
NOTE: If the handle becomes too
constrained to be easily tightened while at
the 60° position, lift up on the handle and
use a hex wrench to tighten the pin, then
fully tighten using the handle itself. See
Figure 14.
8. Move the chip pan and the work stop to the
other side of the vise.
