frame Stop
the saw frame stop controls the overall forward
movement of the saw frame. the proper setting
will ensure that the blade cuts completely through
the workpiece without cutting into the table or the
vise. Adjust the frame saw stop whenever the
blade is changed, fails to cut completely through
the workpiece, or contacts the vise.
To adjust the saw frame stop:
1. Make sure the blade tracks properly and is
correctly tensioned.
