5. Setting Table Square to Saw Blade
5.1 Setting the table stop at 90º to saw Blade
Tools Required:- Small 90
º
square (Not supplied)
The table can be set at 90
º
to the Bandsaw Blade
(See Fig.5.1)
by
adjusting the table stop screw
(See Fig.5.2)
underneath the table.
• First offer the square up to the blade to give an indication of adjustment
required.
• If the table is not at 90º to the blade use table tilting mechanism
(See
5.3)
to adjust the table until it is 90º to the blade. If the table stop screw
position is too high it may be necessary to wind this down out of the way
so 90º can be achieved
(See Fig.5.2).
• Once the table is at 90º to the blade lock off the lock handle on the
table tilt mechanism to secure the table position
(See Fig.5.3)
.
• Now set the table stop screw
(See Fig.5.2)
, the table stop screw
should be adjusted so that the head of the screw makes contact with the
top surface of the lower band wheel housing. Once the stop screw is set
to the correct length, it is secured by tightening the lock nut up to the flat
registration point on the underside of the table.
5.2 Adjusting the table tilt scale
Once the table is set at 90º to the bandsaw blade it may be necessary
to adjust the angle pointer on the angle scale so any further angles are
accurate. To do this use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the pan head screw
and adjust the pointer to 0º
(See Fig.5.3).
5.3 Tilting the table
To tilt the table, loosen the lock handle on the table trunnion. Turn the
table tilting knob to adjust the table angle
(See Fig.5.3).
Use the angle
indicator scale on the trunnion bracket to find the desired angle. Re-tighten
the lock handle to secure the table.
