SETUP
An adjustable table stop allows the table to easily return
to 90˚ after tilting.
To set the table stop so the table is 90˚ to the blade,
do these steps:
1. Make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as
described in the Blade Tensioning instructions on
Page 19.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Loosen the two table trunnion knobs.
4. Loosen the hex nut that locks the table stop bolt in
place.
5. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and place a 6"
machinist’s square or try-square on the table next
to the side of the blade as illustrated in Figure 31.
Adjust the table stop bolt to raise or lower the table
until the table is 90˚ to the blade.
6. Secure the knobs and lock the table stop bolt by
tightening the hex nut against the casting. Ensure
that the bolt does not turn by holding it with anoth-
er wrench while tightening the hex nut.

The pointer on the table tilt scale (Figure 32) must be
calibrated in order for the scale reading to be accurate.
To calibrate the pointer on the table tilt scale, do
these steps:
1. Make sure the blade is tensioned/tracking correctly
and that the table is 90˚ to the blade (this proce-
dure should be already completed with the Table
Stop Adjustment instructions).
2. Loosen the pointer screw.
3. Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on the
table tilt scale.
4. Tighten the pointer screw.
