Positive Stop - Shop fox W1770 Owner's Manual

Positive.Stop
The positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accu-
rately returned to the horizontal (0˚) position after being
adjusted to a different angle.
To set the positive stop, do these steps:
1.. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Adjust the blade tension to the appropriate level for
the blade size on the blade tension scale (see Page.
22).
3. Loosen the jam nut that locks the positive stop bolt
in place, as shown in FIgure.20.
4. Raise the guide post and place a machinist's square
on the table next to the side of the blade as illus-
trated in Figure.21. Adjust the table square with the
blade using the table tilt handwheel, then secure
with the table tilt lock lever.
5. Adjust the positive stop bolt so it just touches the
table and secure it by tightening the jam nut against
the bandsaw.
6. Check the adjustment for accuracy once you have
tightened the jam nut.
7. Loosen the screw on the table tilt scale pointer, but
do not remove it.
8. Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on the
table tilt scale, then tighten the screw to secure the
setting.
