Sliding Table
Movement
Adjustment
The sliding table features an adjustment bar with
bolts that control how easily the sliding table
moves across the base (see
Figure 157). These
adjustment bolts are factory set. They can only be
accessed by removing the end covers from both
ends of the sliding table base and sliding the thin
plate that is over the bolts out of the way.

Increasing pressure between the rails (turning
bolts counterclockwise) reduces table move-
ment inaccuracies, which increases accuracy,
but makes it harder to slide the table. Decreasing
pressure between the rails (turning bolts clock-
wise) makes it easier to slide the table, but
increases table movement inaccuracies, which
reduces accuracy.
Adjusting this part of the sliding table correctly is
a matter of trial-and-error by making adjustments,
moving the sliding table, making additional adjust-
ments, and repeating the process until the sliding
table moves as desired. Ideally, the table will
move easily but without any inaccuracies.
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be
square. This procedure can be done by using a
32" x 32" piece of scrap plywood as a test piece
and making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence
as necessary.
Note: Getting accurate results with this procedure
is a matter of trial-and-error and patience.
To square crosscut fence with the blade:
1. Make sure sliding table is parallel with
main blade (refer to Sliding Table Parallel
Adjustment on Page 78 for detailed instruc-
tions).
2. Loosen crosscut fence pivot lock knob to
allow fence to pivot.
3. Move crosscut fence stop block against 0°
stop bolt (see Figure 158), then retighten
pivot lock knob to secure fence in place.

Important: Before making any adjustments to the
factory setting, make sure it is necessary. This is
a major adjustment that, if not done properly, can
adversely affect the movement of the sliding table
saw.
