Aligning Table

to ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, the table should be aligned so the miter
slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade.

Tools Needed

Fine ruler ...........................................................1
masking tape .....................................As needed
Wrench 10mm ....................................................1

To align the table to the blade:

1. make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as

described in the

Tensioning Blade subsec-

tion earlier in this manual.

2. diSConneCt BAndSAW From poWer!

3. make sure the table is perpendicular to the

side of the blade and locked in place.

4. place an accurate straightedge along the

blade. the straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade (see

figure 39).

Note: Make sure the straightedge does not
go across a tooth.

7. Shift the table so that the distances are equal

between the straightedge and miter slot along
the full depth of the table.

8. taking care not to move the table further, re-

tighten the flange bolts.

9. verify the setting and, if necessary, repeat

this procedure until you are satisfied with the
adjustment.

5. Use the fine ruler to measure the distance

from the straightedge and the miter slot along
the full depth of the table.

— if the distances are the same, no further

adjustments are required.

— if the distances are different, continue with

Step 6.

6. loosen the six flange bolts that secure the

table to the trunnion brackets (see the figure
below).
