Correcting Blade Lead/Wander
1. Insure that the blade is correctly
tensioned and that the blade guard
has been set properly.
2. Try using less pressure when feeding
your material through the blade.
3. Check that the miter slot and fence
are parallel to the blade line.
4. Perform test cut.
NOTE
If you are still experiencing blade lead or
wander you can correct or compensate for
this by skewing the fence or shifting the
band saw table as detailed in the steps
below.
Skewing the Fence
1. Using a piece of scrap wood cut
down to approximately ¾" thick x 3"
wide x 17" long. On the wide face
using a pencil draw a straight line
parallel to the long edge.
2. Move the band saw fence out of the
way and make a cut along the line
halfway through the board. Shut the
band saw off and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Do not
remove the board.
3. Using a clamp secure the board to
the band saw table.
4. Move the band saw fence over to
the clamped board so that it barely
touches one end of the board.
5. Using a 4mm hex wrench loosen the
2 adjustment cap screws located on
the top of the fence and skew the
fence so that it is parallel with the
board clamped to the table.
6. Re-tighten the cap screws securing
the adjustment.
7. Make some test cuts using the
fence. If still experiencing blade lead
or wander repeat the above steps
until the blade and fence are
parallel.

Laser Sight Adjustments

If the laser sight does not line up directly
with the path of the band saw blade it will
require adjustment.
