Headstock at desired point on the ways and lock with head-stock lever; slide carriage toward headstock until saw blade is
directly below slot in table insert. When this location has been established, adjust the stud attached to front of carriage so that it
just touches the headstock. Thereafter, or until the blade is changed on the saw arbor, this bolt will serve as an automatic stop
for correctly positioning the table in sawing position.
Shopsmith is equipped with a table micro-raising mechanism
or lowering the table; gripping the front table rod sometimes facilitates control of table descent. To make micro-adjustments of
table height, first secure front carriage knob. Then release knob on table raising arm and lower until it fits over top of table
raising screw; tighten knob.
gauge extension and a miter gauge stop rod are available as standard Shopsmith accessories.
CAUTION: Miter gauge should be used only on right side of saw when table is tilted.
The exclusive table extension feature
Attached to the lathe tailstock by a knob and studscrew, the extension table can be adjusted to the height of the saw table, either
by sighting along the main table or, more accurately, by sliding the carriage and headstock together to the tailstock and adjusting
extension to table height.

(Fig.
When the front carriage knob is released, the table can be raised or lowered by
turning the ball-crank below the carriage.
NOTE: To slide the table raising arm up, it may be necessary to slightly loosen
the table raising screw.
Always be sure both carriage knobs and carriage lever are locked before
starting motor.
When tilting the table, note that because the pivot center of the table is below the
table top, the saw slot will move in an arc; therefore the quill must be advanced
and locked. This may be accomplished either by extending the quill at the same
time as the table is being tilted or by raising the table to clear the blade while the
adjustment is being made.
The rip fence is smoothly finished on both sides and can be used on either side
of the saw. Adjustment is held by tightening front and back fence knobs. Use
calibrations engraved in fence side for gauging depth of cut.
Double miter-gauge grooves on the table allow cutting right-or left-hand miters.
Gauge pivots to 60 degrees in either direction. A quick-change wooden miter
(Fig. 14) gives the Shop-smith the largest effective table of any 8-inch bench saw.
