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 proce-
dure works best with a
To align the miter slot parallel to the bandsaw
blade:
1.
Make sure the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
2.
DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3.
Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table.
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 touching the blade teeth.
5.
Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between
the straightedge and the miter slot. The dis-
tance you measure should be the same at
both the front and back ends of the miter
slot.
6.
Adjust the table as needed until the distance
between the blade and miter slot is equal at
both ends.
7.
Tighten the trunnion bolts.

Aligning Fence
To ensure cutting accuracy, the fence must be
parallel with the miter slot.
To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:
1.
If the fence is mounted on the left-hand side
of the blade, remove it and remount it on the
right-hand side of the blade.
2.
Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of
the miter slot.
3.
Loosen the two cap screws that mount the
front rail to the table.
4.
Place shims between the front rail and the
table as necessary to make the fence parallel
with the miter slot.
Note: Shim stock works well for this, but small
pieces of paper can also work in a pinch.
5.
Tighten the front rail mounting bolts.
NOTICE
Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot
does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter
slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the
side of the blade. Refer to the Aligning Table
instructions.
