G1073/G1073Z 16'' Bandsaw -19-
Figure 20. Squaring table to blade.
Table Stop
1. Loosen the star knobs under the table and
the checknut securing the stop.
2. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and
place a 6" machinist’s square on the table
against the blade as shown in Figure 20.
Notice how far out of square your table is
and approximate this distance by adjusting
the positive stop up or down. Turning the
positive stop counterclockwise will raise it
and turning clockwise will lower it. Adjust the
positive stop so the table will stop at a 90°
angle (square) to the blade.
3. Lock the positive stop by tightening the
checknut. Do not let the stop turn while tight-
ening the checknut. Tighten the star knobs.
Set the angle pointer to zero on the gauge.

Guide Blocks
The guide blocks ensure that the blade is not
pushed too far laterally. Perform steps 1-4 for
both upper and lower guide blocks. To adjust the
guide blocks:
1. Loosen the thumbscrew securing the guide
block shaft shown in Figure 19.
2. Turn the adjustment nut so that the front of
the guide blocks are just behind the gullet
line (the hollow points) of the blade. Tighten
the thumbscrew.
3. Loosen the guide block thumbscrews and
adjust the gap between the blocks and the
blade to .004" (about the same thickness as
a dollar bill). See Figure 19.
4. Tighten the thumbscrews.
4. A stop cap covers the positive stop. A pre-
determined thickness in the end of this cap
will automatically allow the table to tilt toward
the column of the saw 10
°
when this cap is
removed as shown Figure 21.
Always disconnect
power to the machine
when making adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
The positive stop under the table allows you to
repeatedly square up the table after adjusting the
table tilt.
To adjust this positive stop so the table will
return perpendicular (90°) to the blade after
angle cutting:
