CENTERING THE TABLE
If the bandsaw blade is not centered in the table during the
inital table-to-trunnion assembly (see page 10), additional
table positioning adjustments may be necessary.
1. Loosen the four Hex Flange Nuts (#116) that hold the
lower trunnion and table to the bandsaw frame. FIG. 11.
2. Move the table sideways as required, until the saw
blade runs through the center of the table insert.
SETTING TABLE SQUARE TO SAW BLADE
NOTE: Make sure that the table is not tilted left or right
during this operation. Using a square, the table should be
set 90° to the side of the blade. FIG. 12.
3. Make sure that the 90° Table Rest Bolt (#87) is not
interferring with this process. Loosen the bolt's Locking Nut
(#86) and screw the bolt downward, away from the under-
side of the table. FIG. 13.
3. Once the table is centered in the table inset and is
square to the blade, tighten the four flange nuts that were
loosened in step 1.
4. With the table secured in position, check that the table
Angle Indicator (#120) reads zero degrees on the scale on
the lower trunnion. Loosen the screw holding the indicator
and reset if necessary to the zero degree reading. FIG. 11.
5. With the table secured in the 90° position, adjust the
table rest bolt up or down, until it is in contact with the
underside of the table.
6. Retighten the table rest's locking nut making sure that
the 90° table angle setting is maintained. FIG. 13.
