Blade Guide Installation
Each Wood-Mizer sawmill has two blade guide assemblies that help the blade maintain a
straight cut. The two blade guide assemblies are positioned on the saw head to guide the
blade on each side of the material being cut.
One blade guide assembly is mounted in a stationary position on the drive side of the saw
head. This assembly is referred to as the "inner" blade guide assembly.
The other blade guide assembly is mounted on the idle side of the saw head. It is referred
to as the "outer" assembly and is adjustable for various widths of materials to be pro-
cessed.
NOTE:
Before installing the blade guide assemblies,
remove the blade guide adjusting screws and apply a lubri-
cating oil such as 10W30 or Dexron III to each screw. This
will prevent the screws and threaded holes from corroding
and make screw adjustments easier.
1.
Inspect the guide disks and repair or replace as necessary. Remove the blade from the
sawmill.
2.
Loosen the top disk clamp bolt and mounting bolt. Turn the adjustment bolt counterclock-
wise to raise the top disk all the way up. Remove the bottom guide disk from each blade
