TROUBLE SHOOTING
Note:
Always check blade tension, blade quality, and guides before attempting any other
adjustments. Always keep a blade on hand that you know cuts well. Put this blade on the
machine to make sure the problem isn’t the blade.
Boards that look like the image below
usually occur after you wreck the saw. A hard piece
that accidentally gets hung up in the saw messes up your guide alignment. See “
Setting
Guides
”. A last alternative would be adjusting the head rigs. See “
Cutting Angle
Adjustment
”.
Boards that look like the image below are almost always problems with the blade. A blade
with more set on the top or with dull bottom teeth will cut bowed boards. Check with a good
blade. If it is not the blade, check blade tension.
Boards that look like the image below are usually blade problems. Ripples form when the
blade has more set on the bottom. Check with a good blade. If it is not the blade, check blade
tension.
Loose guide plates or improper blade tensioning can generally cause boards to look like the
image below. (See “
Changing Blades
” or “
Setting Guides
”). These boards can also result
from extreme damage to the tilt of the holdover wheels.
