Shimming Table

To ensure accuracy when cutting stacked workpieces or circles, the table should be 90° to the back of the blade, as illustrated in Figure 56. If the table is not perpendicular to the back of the blade, the table will need to be shimmed.

Items Needed	Qty
Wrench or Socket 10mm	1
Machinist's Square	1
Metal Shims	As Needed
To shim the table, do these steps:

1.Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Bring the table to 0° tilt, then place the machinist's square flat on the table and against the back of the blade.

—If there is not a gap between the square and the blade, no further adjustments need to be made.

—If there is a gap between the square and the blade, continue with Step 4.

4.Loosen the six trunnion bolts that secure the trunnions to the table (see Figure 57).

5.Place shim stock between the table and the two trunnions to shim the table in the desired direction.

Another way to shim the table is to add washers between the table and the trunnion. Electrical washers are a good choice for this procedure because they are very thin and will allow for fine adjustment.

6.Check, and if necessary, align the table (refer to

Page 19).
