5.1
Pre-Alignment Procedures
The Wood-Mizer sawmill is factory aligned. Periodically check the sawmill alignment and
adjust if necessary. This chapter explains how to align the entire sawmill. Care should be
taken in performing these steps. Sawmill alignment determines the accuracy and square-
ness of your cuts.
The sawmill alignment steps are:
1. Ready the sawmill for alignment
2. Adjust the main bed rails parallel to the blade
3. Adjust the blade guide arm parallel to the bed rails
4. Align blade guides to the blade
5. Adjust side supports square to the bed
6. Adjust pivot bed rails parallel to the blade
7. Final Adjustments
To insure accurate alignment, the sawmill frame must be level and a blade properly
installed.
