Shimming Table - Woodstock SHOP FOX W1706 Owner's Manual

Model W1706 (Mfg. Since 3/13)
Shimming.Table
To ensure accuracy when cutting stacked workpieces
or circles, the table should be 90° to the back of the
blade, as illustrated in Figure.56. If the table is not
perpendicular to the back of the blade, the table will
need to be shimmed.

Metal Shims .......................................... As Needed
To.shim.the.table,.do.these.steps:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Bring the table to 0° tilt, then place the machinist's
square flat on the table and against the back of the
blade.
— If there is not a gap between the square and the
blade, no further adjustments need to be made.
— If there is a gap between the square and the
blade, continue with Step.4.
4. Loosen the six trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table (see Figure.57).
5. Place shim stock between the table and the two
trunnions to shim the table in the desired direction.
Another way to shim the table is to add washers
between the table and the trunnion. Electrical
washers are a good choice for this procedure
because they are very thin and will allow for fine
adjustment.
6. Check, and if necessary, align the table (refer to
Page.19).
