Sawmill Alignment

1.

Measure the distance between the flange on the outer blade guide roller to the back edge
of the blade. This distance should measure 1/8" (3.0 mm). Adjust the roller back or for-
ward if necessary.

See Figure 7-12. 

Loosen the top and one side screw shown. Tap the blade guide forward

or backward until properly positioned. Retighten the screws and jam nuts.

2.

Measure the distance between the flange on the inner blade guide roller to the back edge
of the blade. This distance should measure 1/16" (1.5 mm). Adjust the roller back or for-
ward if necessary.

Side Support Alignment

Logs and boards are clamped against the side supports when sawing. The sides supports
must be square to the bed to ensure square lumber.

1.

Swing a side support down and measure between the face of the support and the main
bed tube. The distance at the top of the side support (’B’) should be equal to or no more
