Repeat the above steps for the inner blade guide roller assembly.
NOTE:
Once the blade guides have been adjusted, any cutting variances are
most likely caused by the blade.
See Blade Handbook, Form #600.
Blade Guide Flange Spacing
Each blade guide must be adjusted so the roller flange is the correct distance from the back edge
of the blade. If the flange is too close to or too far from the blade, the sawmill will not cut accu-
rately.
HINT:
When adjusting blade guide spacing, loosen the top set screw and one
side set screw only. This will ensure horizontal and vertical tilt adjustments are
maintained when the adjustment screws are retightened.
