4. SLIDING BRIDGE INSTALLATION
NOTES: The Bridge length is designed to fit
standard 27” to 28” table saws. The assembly is
factory set for a 27” saw and will need to be
adjusted to fit your particular saw. If your saw is
less than 27” you must disassemble bridge and
with a hacksaw, band saw or carbide-tipped saw
blade, cut bridge platform to the same length as
your saw.
Place Bridge Assembly across your saw to engage
rear rail. Loosen the 6 top screws and pull assembly
apart as necessary to properly engage front rail while
maintaining an equal gap at each end of bridge
platform. Slide Bridge Assembly over to a miter
gauge slot on your saw for parallelism alignment
(Figure 10). Align edge of bridge to miter slot and
securely tighten the 3 screws on rear clamp. Hold the
rear bracket firm to rail and push in front bracket to
evenly snug. Securely tighten the 3 screws on front
clamp (Figure 11).
Pushing at its center, slide Bridge Assembly down the
rails over your extension table. If a binding or
loosening occurs, it is necessary to adjust rails to
achieve a good sliding action over their entire length.
If a binding occurs, your table is too wide and must be
made narrower. However, an alternative to removing
and trimming your table is to place shims between the
back rail and saw table.
If too loose you must pry rails apart. After final rail
adjustments, securely tighten lag screws. If there is a
significant gap between rail and table, you should
place a shim to prevent any slippage when clamping
bridge.
NOTES:
1. Attempting to slide Bridge by pushing it
anywhere but at its CENTER will only
cause it to cock and bind against rails.
2. Leaving too much play, or gap, may affect
parallelism of fence to saw blade during
clamping of Bridge. Continue to adjust
Rails and Bridge until you achieve a close,
slip-fit all along rails. When you later
mount fence machine and fence with its
rail clamping brackets, the Bridge and
fence will be always be controlled and
maintained parallel to saw blade because
of the four points of contact to rails.
