Aligning Table - Grizzly G0568 Owner's Manual

Aligning Table

To ensure cutting accuracy, the table should be
aligned so that the miter slot is parallel to the
bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with a
1 ⁄ " blade installed.

To align the table so the miter slot is parallel
to the bandsaw blade:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
2.
DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Loosen the four trunnion cap screws that
secure the table to the trunnions (see Figure
38).

nion.
4.
Place an accurate straightedge along the
blade. The straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade. Note:
Make sure the straightedge does not go
across a tooth.

Use a fine ruler to accurately gauge the dis-
tance between the straightedge and the miter
slot. The distance you measure should be the
same at both the front and the back of the
table (see Figure 39).

to be parallel with blade.
6. Adjust the table as needed for proper align-
ment.
7. Tighten the trunnion cap screws when the
alignment is correct.
