G0640X 17" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

NOTICE

Lead adjustments will change when new

blades are mounted on the saw.

NOTICE

If the table is shifted, the fence will need

to be re-aligned, and the blade guides and

blade support will need to be re-adjusted.

3. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-

out moving it. Now slide the fence over to
the board so it barely touches one end of the
board.

4. Loosen the four cap screws on top of the

fence.

5. Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of

the scrap piece. You may need to re-adjust
the fence locking mechanisms to gain maxi-
mum adjustment.

6. While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap

screws.

To shift the table:

1. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is

perpendicular to the front edge.

2. Cut halfway through the board on the line by

pushing it into the blade.

3. Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade

to stop.

4. Loosen the the table mounting bolts, shift the

table to compensate for the blade lead, then
retighten the bolts.

5. Repeat Steps 1–4 until the blade cuts

straight.
