5. Make a few cuts using the fence.
— If blade lead is still present, repeat
Steps
1–4 until the blade and fence are parallel
with each other.
— Or, shift the table, as instructed in the fol-
lowing procedure.
To shift table:
1. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is
perpendicular to the front edge of board.
2. Cut halfway through board on line by pushing
it into blade.
3. Turn bandsaw OFF and wait for blade to
stop.
4. Disconnect bandsaw from power, then use
a 10mm wrench to loosen the six hex bolts
underneath the table that secure it to trunnion
brackets.
5. Shift table to compensate for blade lead, re-
tighten hex bolts, then re-connect bandsaw to
power.
6. Repeat Steps 1–5 until there is no longer any
blade lead.
4. Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the four
fence adjustment cap screws on top of fence,
skew fence so that it is parallel with scrap
piece, then re-tighten cap screws.
To skew fence:
1. Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately
3
⁄
4
"
thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On the wide face of
the board, draw a straight line parallel to long
edge.
2. Slide bandsaw fence out of the way and
cut along line halfway through board. Turn
bandsaw
OFF and wait for the blade to stop.
Do not move board.
3. Clamp board to bandsaw table, then slide
fence over to board so it barely touches one
end of the board.

To calibrate scale:
1. Set fence anywhere along scale and locate a
piece of scrap wood with at least one straight
edge.
Note: Joint the edge with a jointer if needed
to make the edge straight.
2. Hold straight edge of workpiece firmly against
fence, and feed workpiece through saw blade
with a push stick.
3. Measure the width of cut workpiece. The
width of workpiece should match reading on
fence scale.
You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after
changing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale
is not producing accurate cuts. Recalibrate the
fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on
the fence and testing your adjustment by cutting a
piece of scrap wood.

Calibration
5. Re-tighten screws—scale is now correctly
calibrated.

screws.

4. If reading on scale is not the same as width
of cut workpiece, loosen two screws on mag-
nifying window (see
Figure 70) and adjust it
to match width of the cut workpiece.
