The headstock can be swiveled to cut angles
from 0–60° to the left and 0–45° to the right for
a total swing of 105°. When making cuts to the
right, the vise should remain in the left-most
position. If you need to make a cut to the left, you
will have to move the vise to the right side of the
machine.
Cuts to the Right
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the lock handle shown in Figure

stop that can be used to quickly position the
workpiece during a repetitive cutting operation.
Adjust the work stop as needed, then tighten the
set screw and knob to lock it in place, as shown
in Figure 30.
