Calibrating Fence Pointer

Your new bandsaw is equipped with a fence measurement system that includes a fence pointer, which must be cali- brated when the bandsaw is first set up.

To calibrate the pointer, do these steps:

1.If the fence is mounted on the right-hand side of the blade, remove it and re-install it on the left-hand side of the blade.

2.Place the fence flush against the bandsaw blade (see

Figure 40).

3.Loosen the pointer adjustment screw (Figure 41), and set the pointer in line with "0" and the measure- ment scale on the table.

4.Tighten the pointer adjustment screw.

Calibrating Miter Gauge

The miter gauge needs to be calibrated to the blade when it is first mounted in the miter slot.

To calibrate the miter gauge, do these steps:

1.Place one edge of a machinist's square against the face of the miter gauge and place the other against the blade face, as shown in Figure 42.

2.Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and adjust the gauge flush with the edge of the square.

3.Tighten the lock knob, and verify the setting.

Note: Sometimes the tightening procedure can affect the adjustment.

4.Loosen the screw that secures the angle pointer and adjust the pointer to the 0˚ mark on the scale.

5. Retighten the screw that secures the angle pointer.
