SETUP
Aligning Table
To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, the table should be aligned so the miter slot is
parallel to the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best
with a
3
⁄4" blade.
Tools Needed Qty
Wrench or Socket 10mm .......................................1
Straightedge 24" ................................................1
Fine Ruler 12" ...................................................1
To align the miter slot parallel to the bandsaw blade,
do these steps:
1. Make sure that the blade is correctly tensioned
(refer to Page 17) and is tracking properly (refer to
Page 14).
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Place an accurate straightedge along the blade. The
straightedge should lightly touch both the front and
back of the blade without resting on a tooth (see
Figure 21). Take care not to move the blade in this
step.
4. Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between the
blade and the miter slot. The distance you measure
should be the same at both the front and back ends
of the miter slot.
— If the measurements at the front and back ends of
the miter slot are the same, no adjustments are
necessary.
— If the measurements are not the same, continue
with Step 5.
5. Loosen the six trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table (see Figure 22).
6. Adjust the table as needed until the distance
between the blade and miter slot is equal at both
ends, as measured in Step 4.
7. Tighten the trunnion bolts to secure the setting.
