FINAL CALIBRATION

Important: As with any table saw fence,
accurate calibration and alignment require that
the saw blade be aligned parallel to the miter
slots. If you are uncertain about your saw
blade/miter slot alignment, consult your table
saw’s owner’s manual for information on how
to check and set this important alignment.

Calibration – Right Side of
Saw Blade

Align fence parallel to
miter slot and tighten
Ultra’s mounting screws

Unlock the carriage clamp, then slide the
fence up to the nearest miter slot and clamp
in place. Loosen the (4) screws that secure
the Ultra’s base to the base support bars
and align the fence parallel to the miter slot.
See Fig. 17. Make sure during this align-
ment that the fence glides remain flush with
the rails. Retighten the (4) screws. Now
unlock and slide the carriage forward far
enough to allow access to the (2) truss
head screws in the middle of the Ultra’s
base and tighten these in place.

Important: If it becomes necessary to realign
the fence in the future, make sure to loosen all
(6) base mounting screws.

Zero fence to saw blade

With the table saw unplugged, raise the

saw blade about 2" and slide the fence for-
ward until just before it contacts the blade (to
within less than

1

32

"). Place your Ultra in the

micro adjust mode as described on page 7 of
your Ultra’s owner’s manual and micro adjust
the fence forward until it “kisses” the saw
blade, Fig. 18. Release the micro adjust lever
and lock the carriage in place.

Note: After micro adjusting, re-zero the scale
on the micro adjust knob by rotating the scale
(not the knob) to return to zero under the
micro cursor.

Set scale position

With the Ultra still locked at the “zeroed”

position set above, slide the middle (0"-16")
scale in the scale slot to position 0" under the
hairline cursor. Unlock and move the carriage
to read 16" under the cursor, then lock the
carriage in place. Now slide the shorter
(16"- 25") overlapping scale to also read 16"
under the hairline cursor. See Fig 19. Take
care not to move the longer scale when you
slide the shorter, overlapping scale into place.
