Setting Table Square To Sawblade
5.1 Setting the table stop at 90º to sawblade
Tools Required:- Small 90
º
square (Not supplied)
The table can be set at 90
º
to the Bandsaw Blade
(See Fig.5.1)
by adjusting the table stop screw
(See Fig.5.2)
underneath the
table.
• First offer the square up to the blade to give an indication
of adjustment required.
• If the table is not at 90º to the blade use table tilting
mechanism
(See Fig.5.3)
to adjust the table until it
is 90º to the blade. If the table stop screw position is too
high it may be necessary to wind this down out of the way
so 90º can be achieved
(See Fig.5.2).
• Once the table is at 90º to the blade lock off the lock
handle on the table tilt mechanism to secure the table
position
(See Fig.5.3)
.
• Now set the table stop screw
(See Fig.5.2)
, the table stop
screw should be adjusted to meet the flat registration point
on the underside of the table (now set at 90º) to ensure that
the table always returns to square after tilting. The table
stop screw is located above the bandwheel on the lower
bandwheel housing. By first slackening the locking nut and
then adjusting the hex screw the table stop screw can be
set correctly. Re-tighten the locking nut making sure that
the setting is maintained.
5.2 Adjusting the table tilt scale
Once the table is set at 90º to the Bandsaw Blade it may be
necessary to adjust the angle pointer on the angle scale so any
further angles are accurate. To do this use a Phillips screwdriver
to loosen the pan head screw and adjust the pointer to 0º
(See
Fig.5.3).
5.3 Tilting the table
The tilt mechanism will be used when squaring the table to
the blade. Tilt the table as follows: Loosen the lock handle
on the table trunnion. Turn the table tilting knob to adjust the
table angle
(See Fig.5.3).
Use the angle indicator scale on the
trunnion bracket to find the desired angle. Re-tighten the lock
handle to secure the table.
