Squaring Crosscut Fence To Blade - Grizzly G0699 Owner's Manual

Squaring Crosscut
Fence to Blade
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with this fence will be square.
This procedure is done by using a piece of scrap
plywood as a test piece and making five test cuts,
then adjusting the 90° stop bolts on both ends of
the crosscut table (see Figure 145).

the main saw blade (see the Sliding Table
Parallel Adjustment procedure on Page 74

2. Prepare the test piece by cutting it to a
dimension of 32" x 32", then number all four
sides, as illustrated in Figure 146.
