Aligning Table
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 57).
6. adjust the table as needed for proper align-
ment.
7. tighten the trunnion bolts.

to ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first
installed, the fence should be aligned with the
miter slot.
To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:
1. disConneCt BandsaW FroM poWer!
2. if the fence is mounted on the left-hand side
of the blade, remove it and remount it next to
the miter slot.
3. loosen the four cap screws located on the
top face of the fence ( figure 58).

4. adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of
the miter slot.
5. tighten the four cap screws, being careful not
to move the fence.
Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot
does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter
slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the
side of the blade. Refer to the "Aligning
Table" instructions on this page.
