Saw Bow Tilt Adjustment; Vise Plate Positioning - Baileigh Industrial BSVT-18P Operator's Manual

Saw Bow Tilt Adjustment

The cutting head is adjustable to make angled cuts
from -45° to +45°. Be sure the upper blade guide will
clear any obstructions on the table before adjusting
the cutting head angle. Detents are at each 15°.
1. To adjust the cutting head angle, turn the lock
handle counterclockwise.
2. Holding the cutting head handle, tilt the head to
desired angle (Indicator).
3. When the desired angle is obtained, turn the lock
handle clockwise to secure the cutting head for
operation.

Vise plate positioning

The vise system consists of a stationary rear plate and an adjustable front plate with hand wheel
and half nut. Variations of this setup will be determined by the width of the work piece and the
angle at which it is to be cut. The following gives only one example of how the vise plates can
be mounted to the saw table.
1. Place the rear vise plate (15) in a position on the table so the hold down bolts (14) are
aligned with two of the eight, threaded mounting holes in the tabletop.
2. Use a hex key to secure the rear vise plate to the tabletop with the hold down bolts.
3. Place the front vice plate (13) in the guide slot, opposite the rear plate.
4. Align the half nut assembly (5) with two threaded mounting holes in the tabletop as shown
and secure the half nut assembly to the tabletop with M8x40 bolts (8).
5. Insert the lead screw with hand wheel (3 and 4) in
the half nut assembly (5) while attaching it to front
vise plate (13) as shown and secure with the
locking set screw (18). Make sure the lead screw
lies squarely in the half nut assembly for proper
operation of the vise.
6. Rotate the Gib lock to Unlock the gib and allow the
gib to be lifted (Shown locked).
7. Lift up on the handwheel and leadscrew assembly
and push or pull on the handwheel to quickly
position the front vise plate.
