Adjusting the table square to the bandsaw
blade.
Note.
The machine is set in the factory and no
adjustment should be required but during
transportation movement may occur. To access
the adjustment screws, you will have to tilt the
table up to 45 degrees and lock in position.
The adjustment is made with the jacking screws
1 & 3 only. Jack screw 5 and clamp screws 6
are used for support only.
1.
Set the table to 90 degrees and place an
engineer's square on the table and check if
the blade is leaning forward or backward. The
blade will be parallel, and it is easier to check
the blade at the back.
2.
Tilt the table up to 45 degrees and lock in
position.
3.
Loosen jack screw 5 and clamp screws 6
[only used for support and not adjustment].
4.
If the top of the blade is leaning forward [gap at the top of the eng
ineer’s
square], the back
of the table will have to be adjusted up. Slightly loosen set screw 3 and the two hex head
screws 2, when loosening the clamp hex head screws ensure that they are loosened the
same amount. Then fully tighten set screw 1 and the two hex head screws 4. Only make
very small adjustments as a small movement of the jack screws makes a large adjustment
of the table. Move the table back to 90 degrees, clamp in position and check if the blade is
square to the table with the
engineer’s
square. Repeat adjustment if required.
5.
If the top of the blade is leaning back [gap at the bottom of the
engineer’s
square], the front
of the table will have to be adjusted up. Slightly loosen set screw 3 and the two hex head
screws 2. Then fully tighten set screw 1 and the two hex head screws 4. Only make very
small adjustments as a small movement of the jack screws makes a large adjustment of
the table. Move the table back to 90 degrees, clamp in position and check if the blade is
square to the table with the
engineer’s
square. Repeat adjustment if required
6.
Once adjustments have been completed, lightly tighten set screw 5 and the two clamp hex
head screws 6. Do not over tighten as this will bend the steel
Lock nut
support plate and may affect the adjustment that
you have made.
Adjusting the table square to blade.
The table has a reference stop bolt that is used to quickly align
the table after tilting. The stop bolt hits the tilt-blanking disc when
it is positioned over the table tilt hole. When the tilt blanking disc
is moved away from the hole, it allows the tilt stop
