G0501 Sliding Table Saw -55-
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be
square. This procedure can be done by using a
piece of scrap plywood as a test piece and mak-
ing five test cuts, then adjusting the fence as nec-
essary.
To square the crosscut fence with the blade:
1. Make sure the blade is parallel with the slid-
ing table.
2. Prepare the scrap test piece by cutting it to
32" x 32".
3. Number all four sides of the test piece.
4. Using the crosscut fence, cut 1 ⁄
2
" off of each
side of the test piece.
5. Measure the test piece diagonally from cor-
ner-to-corner, at all four corners, as shown in
Figure 94.
— If both measurements are not within 1 ⁄
16
",
then the crosscut fence needs to be
adjusted. Proceed to step 6.
— If both measurements are within 1 ⁄
16
" then
you are finished with this procedure.
