    Back 8. Assembly Fig 8.1 Back Back Important: Do not fully tighten the fixings until the cabinet is fully assembled. Assembling the Cabinet Base The cabinet base features a set of 3 holes in each corner as shown in Fig Front 8.1.
  • Page 12 8. Assembly Fit the cabinet cross beams to the top and bottom of the front of the Fig 8.6 side panels as shown in Fig 8.6 and ensure the notches are positioned horizontally as shown and tighten the bolts enough to keep the cross beams in place.
  • Page 13 8. Assembly Place the door onto the left-hand side panel as shown in Fig 8.11. Fig 8.11 Attach the M6 x 16 hex head socket screw, bushing and nylon locking nut to the door as shown in Fig 8.12 using the 10 mm wrench and 5 mm hex wrench.
  • Page 14 8. Assembly Secure the base to the bandsaw using the 4 hex head countersunk socket Fig 8.16 screws as shown in Fig 8.16. Carefully raise the bandsaw to the upright position and remove the blocks of wood. The table trunnion has 4 holes as shown in Fig 8.17 and the underside of the table has 4 corresponding threaded holes as shown in Fig 8.18.
  • Page 15 8. Assembly Positioning the Table at 90º to the Blade Fig 8.21 Loosen the table lock lever as shown in Fig 8.21 and use the box wrench to tilt the table to gain access to the underside. Place the M8 nut onto the M8 x 50 hex head bolt and attach to the underside of the table as shown in Fig 8.22.
  • Page 16 8. Assembly Ensure the rip fence rail is parallel to the table by measuring the Fig 8.26 distance between them at one end as shown in Fig 8.27 and ensure the measurement is the same at the opposite end as shown in Fig 8.28. Important: Ensure at this stage the table levelling pin is installed as shown in Fig 8.29.
  • Page 17 8. Assembly Repeat this process at the opposite end of the table as shown in Fig 8.31, Fig 8.31 ensuring both measurements are equal. Fitting the Fence Place the rip fence mount onto the rail as shown in Fig 8.32. Slide the rip fence onto the mount as shown in Fig 8.33.
  • Page 18 8. Assembly The fence can also be fitted as shown in Fig 8.36. This position allows Fig 8.36 the guides to move much further down to support the blade when cutting thinner materials. The fence features a pad at each end as shown in Fig 8.37. This raises the fence from the table to minimise contact and improve travel of the fence across the table and mitre slot.
  • Page 19 8. Assembly Re-fit the rip fence to the mount as previously described and shown in Fig Fig 8.41 8.41. Aligning the Fence with the Blade For accurate cutting the rip fence must be parallel to the blade as shown in Fig 8.42.

Its purpose is to keep the guide post covered when the guides are in the highest positions as the post will protrude from the upper band wheel box. Place the cap over the hole in the upper band wheel box as shown in Fig 8.46 and press down until it clicks into place.
