Adjusting Positive
Stop
An adjustable positive stop allows the table to
easily return to 90° after tilting. After adjusting the
positive stop to 90°, the pointer on the table tilt
scale should be adjusted to the 0° mark to ensure
that the table tilt scale is accurate.
To set the positive stop 90° to the blade:
1. Make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as
described in the Blade Tensioning instruc-
tions on Page 19.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
4. Check to make sure the support bearing is
positioned directly behind the blade.
—If the support bearing is positioned directly
behind the blade, continue on to the next
step.
—If the support bearing is not positioned
directly behind the blade, loosen the trun-
nion mounting cap screws and shift the
trunnion assembly over until the support
bearing is behind the blade.
Note: The table must be re-aligned with the
blade if the trunnion assembly is moved.

Page 23.
5. Loosen the cap screw on the support bearing
adjustment shaft.
6. Place a 0.016" feeler gauge between the
support bearing and the blade, and use
the adjustment knob to position the bearing
0.016" away from the back of the blade (simi-
lar to
Figure 26) or use a dollar bill (Figure
27) instead of a feeler gauge.
7. Tighten the cap screw to keep the support
bearing locked in place.
Figure 27. Dollar bill folded twice to make an
approximate 0.016" gauge.
Note: For a quick gauge, fold a dollar bill in half
twice (four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approxi-
mately 0.016") and place it between the support
bearing and the blade as shown in
Figure 27.
7. Tighten the support bearing cap screw.
To adjust the lower support bearings:
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Familiarize yourself with the lower support
bearing controls shown in Figure 28.
