Truing The Fence
To ensure that the fence is parallel with itself
and square with the table:
1.
Ensure that the bolts through the wood facing
on each side are tight and adequately coun-
tersunk.
2.
To align the wood facing, adjust one or both
fence halves so they are in close alignment.
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a
straightedge.
3.
If the wood fences are not coplanar with each
other, resurface as one unit. You can perform
this operation on a jointer as shown in
Figure
30.
4.
Remove the elevation handle by unthreading
it counterclockwise.
5.
Move the spindle up and down, and feel the
spindle pulley hit against the bottom of the
spindle housing bracket. Pull the spindle up
with force to knock off the spindle pulley.
6.
Pull the spindle straight up and out of the
spindle housing.
7.
Remove the retaining ring shown in
Figure
29.
NOTICE
Make sure the screws are countersunk deep
enough so the workpiece will not come in
contact with the heads of the screws! Check
the screw depth after each pass to ensure
that the screws will not contact knives!

8.
Use a press to remove the bearings from the
bracket housing. If you do not have access to
a press, take the spindle assembly and your
new bearings to a local machine shop and
have them replace the bearings for you.
9.
Spindle installation is the reverse of removal.
