3. Loosen both guide bearing adjustment cap
screws (see
Figure 25), then position guide
bearings so they evenly and lightly touch
sides of blade (see illustration in
Figure 28)
without deflecting it one way or the other.
Note: When the blade guide bearings are
properly adjusted against the blade, they
should lightly rotate as the blade moves.
Figure 28. Blade guide bearings evenly and
lightly touching the sides of the blade.
4. Re-tighten cap screws to secure settings.
Re-check the setting after tightening.
Whenever changing blade or adjusting
blade tension or tracking, the support and
guide bearings must be re-adjusted before
resuming operation to ensure proper blade
support.
Calibrating Miter Slot
with Blade
To ensure cutting accuracy, the table must be
carefully positioned so the miter slot is parallel
with the bandsaw blade.
Before beginning this procedure, make sure
blade is correctly tensioned as described in
the
Tensioning Blade subsection earlier in this
manual.
Tip: This procedure is easier if done with the wid-
est possible blade installed.

To align table miter slot parallel to blade:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Make sure table is perpendicular to side of
blade and is locked in place.
3. Place an accurate straightedge along blade.
The straightedge should lightly touch both
front and back of blade (see
Figure 29).
Note: Make sure straightedge does not go
across a tooth while performing this step.
