Aligning Fence; Miter Gauge - Grizzly G0636X Owner's Manual

Aligning Fence

To ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first
installed, the fence should be aligned with the
miter slot.
To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.
Make sure the miter slot is aligned with the
bandsaw blade (see Page 28).
3.
Mount the fence next to the miter slot, then
loosen the knobs and cap screw that secure
the fence rail to the table.
4.
Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of
the miter slot, as shown in Figure 34.
Figure 34. Example of fence square with miter
slot.
5.
Tighten the knobs and cap screw that secure
the rail to the table, being careful not to move
the fence.
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 on Page 28.

Miter Gauge

The miter gauge needs to be calibrated to the
blade when it is first mounted in the miter slot.
To calibrate the miter gauge:
1.
Place one edge of a machinist's square
against the face of the miter gauge and the
other against the blade face, as shown in
Figure 35.
