ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING T-SLOT GUIDE BAR TO TABLE SLOT
Make sure the saw is disconnected from the power source before
proceeding!
A bonus T-slot guide bar has been included with this Tenoning Jig to offer
a more versatile product which fits most table saws on the market. This
bonus T-slot guide bar generally fits on portable builders table saws
having a T-slot 1/4” high x 3/4” wide. The guide bar pre-assembled to the
Tenoning Jig fits T-slots 3/8” high x 3/4” wide. This guide bar generally fits
Table saws.
1) The Tenoning Jig T-slot guide bars (A) are adjustable (Fig.11) which
allows the Tenoning Jig to be custom fitted to your saw, eliminating any
side-to-side play. There is a T-slot washer (B) on each end of the guide
bar to prevent the Tenoning Jig from lifting during operation. NOTE:
T-slot washers (B) need to be removed if your table saw is not
equipped with T-slotted miter gauge slots.
2) Place Tenoning Jig guide bar (A) fig.12, into the left miter gauge slot
(B) of the machine as shown and slide back and forth to determine if
there is any side-to-side play. If there is no side-to-side play and the
Tenoning Jig slides easily through the miter gauge slot, no adjustment
is necessary; however, if the Tenoning Jig fits too snugly, or if there is
an excessive play between the guide bar and the miter gauge slot,
proceed as follows:
3) Remove Tenoning Jig from the machine and place it upside down as
shown in fig.11.
4) Using the 2.5mm hex. key, adjust set screws (C) fig.11 clockwise to
eliminate play, or counterclockwise to provide a looser fit between the
guide bar (A) and miter gauge slot (B) fig.12. Insert the Tenoning Jig
back into the miter gauge slot and determine if the fit is suitable, or if
further adjustments are required.
ALIGNING Tenoning Jig
Make sure the saw is disconnected from the power source before
proceeding!
1) Place the Tenoning Jig guide bar (A) fig.12 into the left miter gauge slot (B).
2) Using a square (C) fig.12, check to see if the vertical work support plate
(D) is 90
0
to the saw table. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lock
knob (E), move the vertical work support plate (D) until it is 90
0
to the
table and tighten lock knob (E).
3) With the vertical work support plate (A) fig.13 adjusted at 90
0
to the
table, tighten set screw (B) until it bottoms. This positive stop set screw
enables you to rapidly position the vertical work support plate at a 90
0
angle after it has been tilted.
4) Using a square (A) fig.14, check to see if the face of the backstop (C)
is 90
0
to the saw table. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock
handle (B), adjust backstop (C) accordingly and tighten lock handle.
NOTE: The lock handle (B) is spring loaded and can be repositioned by
pulling out on the handle and repositioning it on the nut located
underneath the handle.
