Assembly and Installation
Tools needed for assembly:
8.5mm drill bit
M10 x 1.5P tap 17mm wrench
Remove the clear plastic from around the Stock Feeder and Fence Assembly.
Exposed metal surfaces have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft cloth moistened with a good commercial solvent, such as kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not get solvents near plastic or rubber parts, and do not use an abrasive pad because it may scratch metal surfaces.
The Stock Feeder should be mounted to a band saw table in a
The Stock Feeder and the band saw to which you are mounting it should both be disconnected from power during installation.
Follow these steps to assemble and install the Stock Feeder and Fence:
Use the diagram in Figure 1 (page 8) to identify the proper location for marking the hole patterns on the band saw table. Do not drill and tap the holes yet, only mark them.
Mounting the Fence
1.The fence must be parallel with the blade for accurate cuts as well as for safety. To achieve this, mark the location of the near hole for the Fence based on the dimensions in Figure 1, page 8. Drill and tap the near hole then place the fence over the hole pattern. Insert an M10 x 30 hex cap screw with lock washer into the near hole, as shown in Figure 2. With a 17mm wrench, make the screw snug. Do not tighten completely.
2.Loosen the handle (A, Figure 3) and rotate the knob (B, Figure 3) until the fence is right up to the blade; that is, the scale on the fence should be at “0”.
