7. Now check to see if the blade remains paral-
lel to the miter slot when tilted to 45°.
8. Tilt the blade to 45° and repeat Steps 1-5. If
the blade is still parallel to the miter slot, con-
tinue with the next section. Otherwise, con-
tinue with the next step.
9. If the blade was parallel to the miter slot at
90° but not at 45°, the trunnion will need to
be shimmed with metal shim stock. The
shims are placed between the trunnion cor-
ners and the table.

blade parallelism measurement.
10. Refer to Figures 43, 44A, 44B and 45, for
shim placement. If the distance of A is short-
er than B, shim(s) will need to be placed
under corners #1 and #2. If the distance of B
is shorter than A, shim(s) will need to be
placed under corners #3 and #4. Very thin
shim stock works well, just make sure they
are all the same thickness, and you put an
equal number under each of the two corners.
11. Tighten down one trunnion bolt a small
amount and then move on to each of the oth-
ers, tightening each down the same amount.
Continue to rotate through the bolts, tighten-
ing them a little each time until they are all
secure.
12. Now recheck the blade to miter slot at 90°
and 45° by repeating Steps 1-3 and 8. If the
distance of A and B are equal to or less than
0.004" at both 90° and 45°, continue to the
next section. If the distances are still off by
more than 0.004", repeat Steps 4-12.
13. Once you feel you have the miter slot adjust-
ed to the blade, recheck all measurements
and be sure the table mounting bolts are
secure. Repeat Step 10 in “Blade
Guard/Splitter” instructions. Also, if you ever
loosen the trunnion in the future, be sure to
make note of shim placements and
reassemble exactly how it came apart.
