The blade height is defined as the distance
between the conveyor table and the bottom face
of the bandsaw blade. There is an internal limit
switch that will not allow the blade to be adjusted
closer than
1

4
" to the conveyor table. Note— Use
the “Blade Memory Function” described in the
next subsection when you want to make resaw
cuts thinner than
1
⁄
4
", and be sure to cut from the
top of the workpiece.
The blade height can be adjusted by using the
keypad, or by pressing the
UP and DOWN con-
trol panel buttons. After using either method of
adjustment, the digital display will indicate the

Setting Blade Height
The digital display indicates the distance between
the conveyor table and the bottom face of the
bandsaw blade. The digital display needs to be
calibrated to ensure that the displayed blade
height and the actual blade height are the same.
To calibrate the digital display:
1. Resaw a piece of scrap wood. See “Resawing”
on
Page 27
for more information.
2. Measure the thickness of the workpiece that
was cut off between the conveyor table and
the blade. Note—
Use a precise measuring
tool such as calipers or a micrometer.
3. Press the SET key.
4.
Enter the thickness value of the cut-off
piece measured in
Step 2
. For example, if
the thickness is 1", press 1 , 0 , 0 on the key
pad.
5.
Press and hold the SET key for approxi-
mately 5 seconds or until the display stops
flashing
.
The digital display is now calibrated and all blade
height values displayed will be the same as the
actual distance between the conveyor table and
the bottom face of the bandsaw blade.
