HEELING ADJUSTMENT or PARALLELISM
OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE
While cutting, the materia! must move in a straight tine
PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE . therefore both the
miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be
PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE,
If the sawbiade IS NOT parailel to the miter gauge groove,
the blade will bind at one end of the cut, (This is known as
“HEELING").
To check for parallelism:
