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.
