11.7 Test Cuts (If required) If a test cut is required by Spida Machinery, the following steps must be carried out. If there are any other issues with the CSS Vector/Apollo Saw, then contact Spida Machinery accordingly. Testing the Cut Accuracy To ensure the machine is cutting accurately, it is necessary to check that the right-hand side of the blade, the front face of the fence, and the centre of the top pin are aligned.
NOTE: The Left side of the saw cuts should align, irrespective of the side the outfeed is located. 8. If the point of intersection is too far back or forward, adjustment can be made at the fence. To adjust the fence, loosen the 8mm Countersunk Cap screws holding the fence to the base frame, on either side of the fence.
The Right side of the saw cuts should intersect, irrespective of the side the outfeed is located. If the cuts are not correct, please contact Spida Machinery for further information. It is not recommended to attempt to adjust the motor alignment without guidance...
