INCRA TSIII Table Saw Fence - Manual (Page 10)

Calibration – Left side of saw blade
Moving your TS III to the left side of the blade can be quite
useful, especially on table saws which have a blade tilt to the
right. This feature makes bevel cuts on opposing edges of a
panel safe and easy since the blade tilts away from rather
than toward the fence. The setup is easy.
Note: If your table saw blade tilts to the left, calibration on
the left side of the blade is not necessary.
Reverse Ultra’s position and slide to
left end of rails
Loosen the (4) base clamping knobs and the (4) set screws
that secure the base assembly to the rails and slide the entire
base assembly and Ultra to about mid-length along the rails.
Lift the base assembly and Ultra off of the rails. Turn the
base assembly and Ultra so the fence faces the opposite
direction and place back onto the rails. (Remember to
always disengage, then re-engage the fence hooks when
converting to left hand usage.) Continue sliding the unit to
the left to position the base assembly about 1" from the ends
of the rails. Tighten the clamping knobs on the rear rail only.
Fig. 22. The two stop positioners installed earlier should be
located at the end of the rails.
Align fence parallel to miter slot and
tighten clamping knobs and set screws
Unlock the carriage and slide the fence to the miter slot on
your table saw. Align the fence parallel to the miter slot by
shifting the base clamp on the front rail. Once the fence is
set parallel to the miter slot, tighten all base clamping knobs.
Then using a
3 ⁄ 16 " hex tool, tighten the (4) set screws through
the holes located in the base clamps, Fig. 23.
Zero fence to left side of saw blade
Unlock the carriage and move the fence to within less
than 1 ⁄ 32 " from the saw blade. Place the Ultra in micro
adjust mode and micro adjust the fence forward until it
“kisses” the saw blade,
Fig. 24. After micro adjusting,
release the micro adjust lever and lock the carriage in
place.
Note: Whenever you return the Ultra to operation on the right
side of the blade, remember to micro adjust the fence back to
a zero reading on the micro adjust scale.
Set scale and stop positions
Slide the extra (0"–16") scale in the scale slot and position
the 0” mark under the hairline cursor. Now slide the (2) stop
positioners up to the base clamps and tighten the hex bolts.
Once these stops are set, you’ll be able to return easily to
your left hand setup anytime,
Fig. 25.
Important: With right and left calibrations now complete,
reinstall blade guard and all safety equipment removed
previously. Raise the saw blade and tilt to 45° to check for
clearance between the blade guard and the rear rail
assembly. If the rear rail interferes with the blade guard, you
must follow the instructions set out in the Blade Guard
Adjustments section of this manual.
