Adjusting The Lower Track Rollers
See Figure 5-10.
Making these adjustments correctly will give you square cuts and accu-
rate dimensions across the width of your boards.
1.
Using the power feed switch, move the saw carriage so that the blade is positioned over
the front pivot bed rail.
2.
Check the lower rollers. Both rollers should touch the rail so that you cannot spin them by
hand. If the rollers are not adjusted evenly and you can spin either one, loosen the stop
bolt and adjust the adjustment nuts until the roller cannot be spun by hand. Check the
other roller and adjust if necessary. Adjust both rollers until each evenly supports the car-
riage and you cannot spin either by hand.
3.
Move the carriage forward until the blade is positioned over the rear pivot bed rail. Repeat
the step #2 until the lower rollers are adjusted properly at the front and rear of the sawmill.
4.
Remove the blade guides, or adjust them so that they do not touch the blade.
5.
Open the adjustable blade guide arm to within 1/2" (15 mm) of full open.
6.
Move the carriage back to the front pivot bed rail. Raise the cutting head until the bottom
