Dual Setter Calibration
WARNING!
Always wear gloves and eye protection when
handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when
done by one person! Keep all other persons away from
area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury.
Tooth Set Master Gauge Calibration
The tooth set gauge accurately measures the set of any blade tooth. The gauge needs to
be assembled and calibrated before use.
See Figure 3-20.
Insert the dial gauge assembly into the hole in the block housing.
Clamp the calibrating pin in position at the center of the dial gauge foot. Push the gauge
assembly forward until the foot just touches the pin and dial needle moves .005 to .010.
Tighten the locking screw with the provided hex wrench (do not overtighten). Loosen the
dial lock on the gauge and rotate the dial face until the needle reads zero. Tighten the dial
lock.
Unclamp the calibrating pin from the set master gauge clamp by turning the clamp knob
counterclockwise. With the pin not clamped, the set master gauge needle should read
between -.005 and -.010. If not, reclamp the pin, loosen the locking screw and move the
set master gauge assembly back so the foot does not contact the pin. Repeat the steps
above until the dial needle reads zero with the calibrating pin clamped and between -.005
and -.010 without the pin clamped. This ensures the dial foot extends beyond the clamp
plate a slight amount and will read zero when the foot is aligned with the clamp plate.
