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 accurately.
HINT:
When adjusting blade guide spacing, loosen the top
set screw and one side set screw only. This will ensure hor-
izontal and vertical tilt adjustments are maintained when the
adjustment screws are retightened.
1.
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.
See Figure 7-12.
Loosen the top and one side screw shown and rear adjusting bolt if
necessary
. 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 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.
