-20- G8622 Tilting Spindle Sliding Table Shaper
Figure 29. Setting the miter gauge pointer.
Setting Miter Gauge
You will need to square the miter gauge each
time it is removed from the table. To do this:
1. Ensure that the fence halves are aligned and
that the miter assembly is correctly assem-
bled.
2. Place one end of a framing or try square
flush with the infeed shaper fence.
3. Rotate the miter gauge/fence so that it lines
up flush with the other end of the square.
4. Set the miter gauge pointer to 0° and tighten
the setscrew as shown in Figure 29.
5. Keeping the square flush with the infeed
fence and the miter fence, clamp it to the
table, and slide the table across the shaper.
The square should stay flush with both
infeed and outfeed fences during this move-
ment. If this is the case, proceed to the next
section. If they do not stay flush or are not
square to the miter fence, repeat steps 1-4
until they are true. During operation, move
the infeed and outfeed fences away from the
workpiece before cutting.

Aligning The Fences
The following procedure ensures that the fence is
parallel with itself and square to the table.
1. Check that the bolts through the wood facing
are tight on each side and are adequately
countersunk.
2. To align the wood facing, adjust one or both
fence halves so they are in close alignment.
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a
straightedge as shown in Figure 28.
3. If the wood fences cannot be made parallel
by adjusting the fence controls, shim the
incorrect fence with electrical washers.
Normal washers may work, but electrical
washers allow for fine adjustments.
