Tilting.Table
The table can be tilted to make angled or beveled cuts.
A simple tilt scale is provided on the trunnion for a quick
gauge (see Figure.36 ). For more accurate results use a
protractor.

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen table lock lever shown in Figure.36 .
3. Rotate tilt adjustment knob until table reaches
desired angle, then re-tighten lock lever.
Choosing.Blades
Selecting the right blade requires a knowledge of the
various blade characteristics to match the blade with the
particular cutting operation.
Blade.Length
Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually
unique to the brand of your bandsaw and the distance
between wheels. Blades will vary slightly even in the
same length because of how they are welded. Refer to
the
Accessories.
section later in this manual for blade
replacements from Woodstock.
Blade.Width
Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the
blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is often the
first consideration given to blade selection. Blade width
dictates the largest and smallest curve that can be cut, as
well as how accurately it can cut a straight line.
Always pick the size of blade that best suits your
application.
