Fence to Table Clearance
1. Check the clearance between the table and
the bottom of the fence (Figure 10). The
fence should not rub against the table
surface but be slightly above it. This gap
should be the same at the front of the table
as it is at the back.
2. If the clearance is not the same, use a
combination of the following two
adjustments:
• With a 7/32” hex wrench, rotate the two
nylon adjustment screws (A, Figure 16) the
same amount to raise or lower the fence
body from the guide tube. Clockwise raises
the fence body, counterclockwise lowers.
• And/or....Adjust the back end of the fence
by loosening one hex nut and tightening the
other (A, Figure 11) in order to raise or
lower the sliding pad (B, Figure 11) as
needed. When the fence-to-table gap is
equal, make sure both hex nuts are
tightened against the fence body.
Setting Cursor (Zero) Position
Refer to Figure 12.
The fence must be set so that the cursor reads
zero at the line of the blade. The resaw fence
must be installed on the fence body in vertical
position, and the blade must be installed and
fully tensioned.
1. Slide the fence flush against the flat of the
blade, as shown. (Do not force the fence
into the blade so that the blade bends.)
2. If the cursor is not at zero, loosen the two
screws and slide it as needed. Then re-
tighten the screws.
Setting Table Parallel to Blade
Refer to Figures 13 and 14.
The table has been aligned by the manufacturer
so that the miter slot is parallel to the flat of the
blade; it should not require adjustment.
However, in the future you may wish to confirm
this setting is still accurate. A wide blade is
recommended for the procedure.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. The blade should be fully tensioned and
properly tracked (see pages 17 and 18).
3. Place a long straightedge flush against the
blade making sure it contacts both front and
back of the blade. (Do not deflect the blade
by pushing into it.) See Figure 13.
