1. Adjust the Steel Miter Bar
Open hardware pack C-07 and using the supplied 3/32”
hex key, adjust the miter bar at each of the (5) expansion
mechanism locations (white disks only) for a good fit in
your table saw’s left hand miter slot. Turning the screw
clockwise expands the mechanism. Expand a little at each
of the locations until the bar slides smoothly with no side
play. You can thread the large clamping knob into the bar
while adjusting to aid in sliding the bar in your miter slot,
Fig. 4
. If the miter slot in your table saw has a T-slot,
attach the T-clip to the end of the bar as shown in
Fig. 5
.
2. Attach Left Sled Base to Miter Bar
Using (3) #10-24 x 3/4” flat head Phillips screws, attach the
left sled base to the steel miter bar. To access the rear
mounting hole position, remove the hex bolt that secures
the protractor head and disengage the rear actuator tooth
from the 1/2° adjustment plate. (Retain the large washer
for use with the large clamping knob.) Pivot the protractor
head for access to the rear mounting hole and tighten all
(3) fasteners,
Fig 6
. Check the sliding motion of your sled
base now and adjust before continuing.
Tip: Future fine adjustments to the miter bar’s
expansion mechanisms can be made through
the access holes in the sled base left. Pivot the
protractor head as described above for access
to the rear expansion location.
3. Install Large Clamping Knob
Pivot the protractor head to firmly re-engage the left
hand tooth of the rear actuator with the 0° notch on
the 1/2° adjustment plate and tighten the thumbscrew.
Place the large washer retained in step 2 on the large
clamping knob and thread through the slotted hole in the
protractor head into the sled base left. Before tightening,
engage the front actuator tooth with the 0° notch on the
protractor head. Tighten the front actuator thumbscrew,
then the large clamping knob,
Fig 7
.
4. Attach Sled Base Right and Cut-off Overhang
Using (7) #10-24 x 1/2” flat head Phillips screws, attach
the sled base right to the panel connector on the sled
base left. Raise your saw blade about 3/4” and make a cut
to remove the portion of the sled base right that extends
to the right of the blade,
Fig. 8
. Turn off the saw, lower
the blade and remove the sled base left from the table
saw.
5. Adjust Aluminum Miter Bar
Using the supplied 3/32” hex key, adjust the aluminum
miter bar at each of the (2) expansion mechanism loca-
tions for a good fit in your table saw’s right hand miter
slot. Turning the screw clockwise expands the mecha-
nism. Expand a little at each of the locations until the bar
slides smoothly with no side play,
