Table Tilt
The table can be tilted to make angled or beveled
cuts. A simple tilt scale is provided on the trun-
nion for a quick gauge (see
Figure 43). For more
accurate results use a protractor.
Note: When tilting the table to the left, the positive
stop bolt must be lowered. Be sure to re-adjust it
when returning the table to be perpendicular with
the blade.
To tilt the table:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen both table lock knobs underneath the
table.
3. Tilt the table to the desired angle, then re-
tighten the lock knobs.

Blade Speed
The Model G0555LX offers blade speeds of 1800
and 3100 FPM. Speed changes are made by re-
positioning the V-belt in different pulley grooves.
Keep in mind, cutting results are not just related
to blade speed. Other factors include: the type of
workpiece, the blade being used for the operation,
and the feed rate.
Use the chart below as a general guide
for which blade speeds to use for various
operations:
