W1770 21" Bandsaw w/Foot Brake
SETUP
Aligning Table
To ensure cutting accuracy, the table should be aligned so
that the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This
procedure works best with a 1
3
⁄8" blade installed.
To align the table so the miter slot is parallel to the
bandsaw blade, do these steps:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Loosen the four trunnion cap screws that secure the
table to the trunnions (see Figure 36).
4. Place an accurate straightedge along the blade. The
straightedge should lightly touch both the front and
back of the blade (the flat part only) without touch-
ing the blade teeth.
5. Use a fine ruler to accurately gauge the distance
between the straightedge and the miter slot. The
distance you measure should be the same at both
the front and the back ends of the miter slot, as
indicated by positions "A" and "B" in Figure 37.
6. Adjust the table as needed until the distance
between the blade and miter slot is equal at both
ends.
7. Tighten the trunnion cap screws when the alignment
is correct.
