1.
Make a straight pencil line on the edge
of a board.
2.
Feed the wood into the blade cutting
next to the pencil mark. If the blade is
drifting, you will have to compensate by
angling the wood to keep the cut straight.
3.
Stop the cut in the middle of the wood
and mark (with pencil) the angle on the
table. This is the angle of drift, and you will
have to set the fence to the pencil line.
4.
To adjust the fence, loosen the clamp
bolts that attach it to the cast bracket.
Move the fence so that it lines up with the
pencil mark on the table and retighten the clamp screws.
1.
Set the fence parallel with the blade by loosening the clamp screws that hold it to
the cast bracket. It is not important that it is exact because you will be readjusting
later in the procedure.
2.
Using a piece of scrap wood, make a cut while holding the wood against the
fence. Stop the cut in the middle of the wood.
3.
Look at the position of the back of the blade within the saw cut. The back of the
blade should be in the center of the slot, but you will probably find that it is closer to
one side.
4.
Slightly loosen the clamp screws and adjust the fence to compensate.
Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 until the blade is centered.
Note:
You may have to do several fine adjustments, and it is better to do several
small adjustments until you become skilled at the procedure. Once you have
mastered the process, it should only take a minute to perform the adjustment.
Note:
Each blade has a slightly different drift, and each time you change a blade,
you must check and readjust if necessary.
Note:
It is worth taking the time to set the fence accurately as it will save
frustration and enhance the performance of your machine.
