Squaring the Table
Squaring the Blade to the Miter Slot
To ensure cutting accuracy, the miter slot must be
made parallel to the bandsaw blade. This alignment
is best performed with the largest blade size the saw
allows. To square the table, ensure the saw blade is
correctly tracking and unplug the saw. Then, loosen
the 6 trunnion bolts on the underside of the table (A).
Place an accurate straightedge along the blade (B).
The straightedge should lightly touch both the front
and back of the blade without touching the blade’s
teeth. Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between
the straightedge and the miter slot. The distance
should be the same at both the front and back ends of
the miter slot (C&D).

If the distance between miter slot and straight edge at
both the front and back of the table is not the same,
adjust the table by lightly tapping it with a mallet (E)
until the distance between the blade and miter slot is
equal at both ends. Re-tighten the trunnion bolts to
lock the table in place.

Adjusting Fence Alignment
If the fence is not equidistant from the miter slot at
both ends, loosen the two bolts on top of the fence
(B), and adjust the fence’s alignment by lightly tapping
the opposite end of the fence (C) until it is parallel to
the mitre slot. Re-tighten the fence bolts and double
check the alignment at both ends of the fence.
Squaring the Fence
Squaring the Fence to the Miter Slot
The fence should be aligned parallel to the table’s miter
slot. Ensure that the miter slot is parallel to the blade,
then mount the fence close to the edge of the miter
slot and lock it in place. Measure the distance between
fence and miter slot at both ends of the table (A).

Adjusting the Fence Height
The fence should ride smoothly across the rails with-
out touching the table. Ensure the fence clears the
table, then using a combination square, measure the
distance between rail bracket and table top (D). If the
distance is not the same on either end of the table,
loosen the hex nut (E) and adjust the rail’s height.

Perform the same measurements and adjustment on
the rear of the saw to ensure the fence sits above the
table equally across its entire surface.
