feed Stop
it may be necessary to adjust the feed stop before
making blade adjustments. the blade should
never rest on or rub on any part of the vise assem-
bly or table.
To adjust the feed stop bolt:
adjust the feed stop bolt and jam nut (figure 64),
so the bandsaw blade teeth are just below the
vise table surface when the cut is complete.

Limit Switches
the upper travel auto stop can be adjusted to
limit saw bow travel to match the height of the
workpiece. this speeds up repetitive cuts by
eliminating unnecessary saw bow travel.
the lower limit switch should only be adjusted
if the blade is not passing entirely through the
workpiece or is cutting into the vise table.
To set the upper travel auto stop and lower
limit switch:
1.
raise the saw bow to the highest level
required to provide adequate clearance for
your workpiece.

tion of the auto stop so it depresses the upper
limit switch button, then re-tighten the auto
stop knob. the saw bow will now automati-
cally stop when raised to this level (figure
65).
