3. Place a square against the face of the side support. The side support should be square or slightly
tilted forward 1/32" (0.8 mm). Adjust the vertical tilt of the side support if necessary.
See Figure 5-9. Loosen the top adjustment bolt, adjust the side support, and retighten the
bolt.Turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise to tilt the top of the side support forward.
4. Repeat the vertical check for the remaining side supports and adjust as necessary.
Blade Height Scale Adjustment
After the entire sawmill has been aligned and all adjustments made, check that the blade height
scale indicates the true distance from the blade to the bed rails.
1. Move the saw carriage so the blade is positioned directly above one of the bed rails. Measure
from the bottom edge on a down-set tooth of the blade to the top of the bed rail, near the inner
blade guide assembly.
2. View the blade height scale with eyes level with the indicator. The scale should indicate the
actual distance from the blade to the bed rail. Adjust the indicator if necessary.
See Figure 5-10. Loosen the indicator bracket mounting nut. Adjust the bracket up or down until
the indicator is aligned with the correct mark on the scale (+0 -1/32 [0.8 mm]). Retighten the indi-
cator mounting nut.
For example, if the measurement from the down-set tooth of the blade to the bed rail was 14 3/4"
(375 mm), make sure the indicator reads 14 3/4" (375 mm) on the scale.
