MOUNT AND ALIGN THE DRIVE

If you have not already done so, mount a
drive hub on the Mark V headstock’s up-
per auxiliary spindle. Use the long hub
with a 5/8" center hole and four grooves in
the circumference.

5.
Slide the Mark V headstock toward the
Bandsaw until the two drive hubs are 1/4"
apart, as illustrated in Fig. 6.
6.
Horizontally align the Bandsaw hub (52)
to the Mark V hub by hand-rotating the
eccentric tubes, as seen in Fig. 7. You have
up to 1/4" movement to the right or left.
When the two hubs are horizontally
aligned, tighten the accessory mount lock,
as illustrated in Fig. 8.
7.
Vertically align the Bandsaw hub to the
Mark V hub (shown in Fig. 9) by lifting the
Bandsaw until the tops of the hubs are at
the same height. When holding the
Bandsaw in vertical alignment, use a 5/
32" Allen wrench to tighten both setscrews,
as shown in Figs. 10 and 11. You may want
a helper to lift and hold the Bandsaw
while you are tightening the setscrews.
