ALIGN THE EXTENSION TABLE

NOTE

These instructions are for aligning the exten-
sion table on the right side of the headstock. You

The worktable should already be mounted
in the carriage mount.  Move the worktable
next to the extension table and adjust it to
about 1/4" above the extension table, as
seen in Figure B-100.

ALIGN THE PRO FENCE PARALLEL

WITH THE WORKTABLE

63.

Place the miter gauge in the left slot of the
worktable on the infeed side. Place the Pro
Fence on the right side of the saw table.

64.

Insert the long 5/32" Allen wrench through
the miter gauge and secure it using the short
5/32" Allen wrench and a set screw bor-
rowed from the tool rest.

65.

Move the fence toward the Allen wrench
until it just touches it.

66.

Lock the lower fence lock handle first, then
lock the upper fence lock handle to secure
both ends of the pro fence.

67.

Slide the miter gauge back and forth in the
slot.   The tip of the Allen wrench should
keep in slight contact with the fence.  Watch
that you don't scratch the fence.

68.

If the allen wrench pulls away from or binds
against the fence, the fence needs aligning. If
so, do the following:

a.

Using the short 5/32” short Allen
wrench, loosen the four button head
cap screws (3), located on the top of the
fence, slightly. They should be just tight
enough to require firm pressure to align
the fence.

b.

Raise the upper fence lock handle only
to unlock the rear of the fence.

c.

Adjust the rear end of the fence so that
it just touches the allen wrench as the
miter guage slides along the fence.

d.

When alignment is reached, lock the
upper fence lock handle. Slide the miter
gauge back and forth to double check
your alignment. Using the short 5/32”
Allen wrench, tighten the four button
head cap screws (3) completely.

can also follow these same procedures to align it
to the left side of the headstock.

For most projects, align the extension table on
the right side, since it can usually be used when
placed on the left side. However, once the exten-
sion table is aligned on the right side, it cannot
be transferred to the left side and still maintain
precise alignment.

If you wish precise alignment on the left side,
repeat the following instructions– but place the
extension table on the left side in the headstock.

69.

Mount the extension table in the Mark V's
accessory base mount (on the right side) at a
comfortable height, as shown in Figure B-
99.  Use a 1/2" wrench to loosen the bottom
nuts holding the table base to the table ap-
proximately 1/4" from the table. This will
allow you room for later adjustment.
