Making Adjustments to Your Saw
To adjust the alignment, begin by loosening the 4
mounting bolts (see Fig. 47) that attach the table to the
front and rear trunnion brackets using a 17 mm wrench
or an adjustable wrench. Slide the dial indicator to the
front of the blade and set the readout to zero. Slide the
dial indicator mount to the rear of the blade. The dial
indicator should now be reading close to the average
measurement you made previously.
The table alignment is set by a pivot pin at the front of the
table, and positioning screws near the rear of the table
on both the left and right sides (see Figs. 48 and 49). If
the measurement is positive, loosen the left positioning
screw and tighten the right positioning screw. If the
measurement is negative, loosen the right positioning
screw and tighten the left positioning screw.
You should see the readout on the dial indicator
change as you adjust the positioning screws. Adjust the
screws until the readout is the same, but in the reverse
direction. For example, if the initial reading was +0.006
inch, adjust the positioning screw until the reading is
-0.006 inch.
Now slide the dial indicator mount back to the front of the blade and re-zero the readout. Slide the indicator
mount smoothly forward until the indicator measurement arm is about 1/2 inch inside the rear edge of the
blade. The new measurement should be much closer to 0.000 inch.
If the new measurement is still too high, repeat the above process until the parallelism between the blade and
the miter slot is satisfactory. Finally, tighten the four table mounting bolts to secure the table to the front and
rear trunnion brackets. For best results, sequentially tighten each bolt a little at a time until all are tight. Watch
the dial indicator while tightening, and if one bolt causes a significant change, tighten the other bolts first.
