5.  Turning the setscrew (C) clockwise (cw) will tilt the flywheel so that the blade will ride closer 

to the flange. 

6.  Turning the setscrew (C) counterclockwise (ccw) will tilt 

the flywheel so that the blade will ride away from the 
flange. (If it rides too far away it will come off).  

7.  After the adjustment is finished, tighten the socket cap 

screws (A) first and then the cap screws (B). 

 
 

Adjusting the Blade Guide 

1.  Disconnect the saw from the power supply. 

2.  Loosen the socket cap screw (A) which releases 

the clamping block (B) allowing the extension bar 
(C) to slide in and out. 

3.  Hold the handle (D) and slide the extension bar in 

or out to position the blade guide block as close 
as possible to the piece part without interfering 
with the cut. 

4.  Tighten socket screw (A) clockwise (cw). 

 
 

Blade Guide Bearing Adjustment 

ATTENTION: This is the most important adjustment 
on your saw. It is impossible to get satisfactory work 
from your saw if the blade guides are not properly 
adjusted. 
Your Baileigh Band Saw has been adjusted and 
power tested before leaving the factory to insure 
proper setting. 
If the guides do get out of adjustment, it is extremely 
important to re-adjust immediately. An improperly 
adjusted blade will not cut straight, and serious blade 
damage may result. 
It is always best to try a new blade to see if this will 
correct poor cutting before beginning to adjust the 
blade guide bearings. 
If the blade becomes dull on one side and not the 
other, for example, it will begin cutting crooked. A blade change will correct this problem; the 
guide adjustment will not. If a new blade does not correct the problem, check the clearance 
between the blade and guides.
