Test 2: Blade / Miter Slot Alignment Inspection
1. Raise the blade to the maximum height and
set the blade tilt angle to 0°
2. Mark the saw blade near the edge to set a
reference point. Move the reference point
towards the front of the saw, then measure
the distance between the blade and the
miter slot.
Using a dial indicator with a base that glides
along the miter slot will result in a more
accurate measurement.
If a dial indicator is not available, a
combination square can be used as an
alternative.
3. Move the reference point towards the rear
of the saw and measure the distance.
4. If the blade is perfectly aligned with the
miter slot, the distance measured at the
front and the back should be the same. If the
offset is greater than 0.008” (1/128”), refer
to “Blade to Miter Slot Alignment” on page
48 and make adjustments.
