-22- G1019 14'' Bandsaw
Table Adjustments
The bandsaw table will tilt left 10° and right 45°
from horizontal. When tilting the table to the right,
the positive stop adjusting bolt automatically
indexes the table back to perpendicular to the
blade.
To tilt the table to the right:
1. Loosen the two trunnion knobs below the
table trunnions. See Figure 28 for location.
2. Position the table to the desired angle.
Refer to the angle gauge on the front table
support trunnion.
3. Tighten the trunnion knobs.
Figure 28. Table tilt trunnion knobs.

Support Bearings
The support bearings back-up the blade during
the sawing operation. To adjust the support bear-
ings, loosen the thumbscrews on the upper
assembly or the setscrews on the lower assembly
which secure the support bearing shafts. See
Figure 27. Adjust the shafts in or out so that the
upper and lower support bearings are within
1
/64"
of the back edge of the blade. Tighten the screws.
Guide Blocks
The guide blocks ensure that the blade stays
aligned laterally. For optimum support, the guide
block assemblies should be adjusted so they are
just behind the gullet line (the hollow points) of the
blade. To adjust the guide block assemblies,
loosen the thumbscrews securing the guide block
yoke assemblies and move in or out in relation to
the blade gullets. Once adjusted, retighten the
thumbscrews.
To adjust the guide blocks laterally, loosen the
guide block lateral adjustment thumbscrews and
adjust each block so it is about 0.004" from the
blade. This is about the same thickness as a dol-
lar bill. Retighten the thumbscrews and turn the
upper wheel by hand through a complete revolu-
tion of the blade length to ensure that the blade
weld passes through the guide blocks unhin-
dered.
