Table Tilt calibration
the pointer on the table tilt scale must be calibrat-
ed in order for the scale reading to be accurate.
To calibrate the pointer on the table tilt scale:
1. Make sure that the blade is tensioned and is
tracking correctly, and that the table is 90˚ to
the blade (see
Table Stop calibration on
page .
2. loosen the screw on the pointer (figure 25),
but do not remove it.

3. Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on
the table tilt scale.
4. tighten the screw on the pointer so that the
pointer is locked in place.
Table Alignment
to ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, the table should be aligned so that the
miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. this
procedure works best with a
3 ⁄
4
" blade installed.
To align the table so the miter slot is parallel
to the bandsaw blade:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
2. diSConneCt BAndSAW FroM poWer!
3. loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table.
4. place an accurate straightedge along the
blade. the straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade.
Note: Make sure the straightedge does not
go across a tooth.
5. Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance
between the straightedge and the miter slot.
the distance you measure should be the
same at both the front and the back of the
table (see
figure 26).
6. Adjust the table as needed for proper align-
ment.
7. tighten the trunnion bolts.
