Squaring Crosscut
Fence to Blade
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be
square. This procedure can be done by using a
piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and mak-
ing five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as
necessary.
To square the crosscut fence with the blade:
1.
Make sure blade is parallel with sliding table
and that crosscut fence is resting against 90°
stop bolt (see Figure 143 for locations).
2.
Prepare scrap test piece by cutting it to 32" x
32", then number all four sides of test piece.
3.
Use crosscut fence to cut
of test piece, then cut side 1 again (make five
cuts total).
4.
Measure test piece diagonally from corner-to-
corner as shown in Figure 142.
— If both measurements are not within
then the crosscut fence needs to be adjust-
ed. Proceed to Steps 5–8.
— If both measurements are within
no adjustments need to be made. You are
finished with this procedure.
