Sawmill Alignment
Blade Height Scale Adjustment
After the entire sawmill has been aligned and all adjustments made, check that the blade height scale
indicates the true distance from the blade to the bed rails.
1.
Move the saw head so the blade is positioned directly above one of the bed rails. Measure from the bottom
edge on a down-set tooth of the blade to the top of the bed rail, near the inner blade guide assembly.
2.
View the blade height scale with eyes level with the indicator. The scale should indicate the actual distance
from the blade to the bed rail. Adjust the indicator if necessary.
See Figure 5-14.
Loosen the indicator bracket mounting bolts and adjust the bracket until the indicator is
aligned with the correct mark on the scale. Retighten the bracket mounting nuts.
Example: if the measurement from the down-set tooth of the blade to the bed rail was 14 3/4" (375 mm),
make sure the indicator reads 14 3/4" (375 mm) on the scale.
