G9744Z Metal Cutting Bandsaw
The blade guide bearings are mounted on the
front and rear arms. The rear arm is adjustable
and should be set as close to the workpiece as
possible. This will help ensure straight cuts by
keeping the blade from twisting and drifting off of
the cut line.
To adjust the rear blade guide arm:
Loosen the knob shown in Figure 17
and slide
the rear blade guide as close to the workpiece as
possible, then tighten the knob.
