Resaw Pin
Refer to Figure 35.
A resaw pin is provided with the band saw. It
provides a single contact point while ripping a
workpiece into thinner boards.
Remove the aluminum resaw fence and mount
the resaw pin to the slot in the fence body,
securing it with the knob, as shown. The resaw
pin is usually positioned so that its center is
approximately even with the front edge of the
blade.
See under “Operation” for further information on
using the resaw pin.
Miter Gauge
Refer to Figures 36 and 37.
A miter gauge is provided for crosscutting
operations. Install the miter gauge by sliding the
end of the miter gauge bar into the table’s T-slot.
The miter gauge should fit snugly within the
miter slot while still sliding easily. The bar of the
miter gauge has two slots, each with a set screw
(Figure 36). Rotate one or both of these set
screws with a 5/32” (4mm) hex wrench as
needed to eliminate any play between the miter
gauge bar and miter slot.
If the table/miter slot is square to the blade (see
“Setting Table Parallel to Blade”), the miter
gauge will also be square to the blade. Before
operating, however, the 90° setting of the miter
gauge should be checked in relation to the
blade, as follows.
1. Place a square against the miter gauge
face, and against the flat of the blade, as
shown. (Place the square against the flat of
the blade, not the teeth which are set wider
than the blade body). A wide blade is
preferred for this procedure.
2. Flip the 90° stop plate (C) out of the way,
and loosen the handle (A). Shift the miter
gauge body until it is flush with the square,
then re-tighten the handle (A).
3. Flip the stop plate (C) back down, and
loosen the 90° stop hex nut and adjust the
screw until it contacts the 90° stop plate.
4. Re-tighten hex nut.
5. Loosen the set screw at the base of the
pointer, and shift the pointer so that it lines
up with the 90° mark on the scale.
6. Re-tighten set screw.
