Table Adjustments
The table can be adjusted 45° to the right or 10°
to the left. There is a positive stop bolt (Figure
41) that mounts to the body, under the table.
When adjusted correctly, this allows you to
bring your table back to square after cutting at
an angle. When the positive stop bolt is
removed, the table automatically tilts 10° to the
left. There is also an adjustable pointer mount-
ed to the trunnion base. This works with the
table trunnion gauge to show you the angle of
table tilt.
Before using your bandsaw, you will want to
adjust the table to be square to the blade. When
you get it square, set the pointer to the gauge.
This will ensure that your cuts are accurate,
even during angle cuts.
To square the table to the blade:
1. Loosen the trunnion knobs under the table.
2. Using a small try square or combo square.
Place the long end on the table and the
short end against the blade. See Figure 42.
3. Adjust the table so it is square to the blade,
then set the positive stop bolt (
hex bolt) to that location. It may take some
trial-and-error in tilting the table back and
forth to check the correct position of the
positive stop.
4. Check the table with the square again. If it
is correct, lock the nut down against the
bandsaw body. The positive stop bolt should
no longer be able to move.
5. Set the pointer on the trunnion base to zero
as shown in Figure 43.
