2.Slide the bandsaw fence out of the way and cut half- way through the board on the line by pushing it into the blade. Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.

3.Clamp the board to the bandsaw table without mov- ing it. Now slide the fence over to the board so it barely touches one end of the board.

4.Loosen the three cap screws that secure the fence rail to the underside of the table (see Page 28).

5.Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of the scrap piece.

6.While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap screws loosened in Step 4.

7.Make a few cuts using the fence. If the fence still does not seem parallel to the blade, repeat Steps 1–6until the blade and fence are parallel with each other.

To shift the table, do these steps:

1.On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is per- pendicular to the front edge.

2.Cut halfway through the board on the line by pushing it into the blade.

3.Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.

4.Loosen the four cap screws that mount the table to the trunnion (Figure 36 on Page 27). Shift the table to compensate for the blade lead, then retighten the cap screws.

5.Repeat Steps 1–4until the blade cuts straight.
