SECTION 6 ALIGNMENT
6.1
Pre-Alignment Procedures
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 squareness of your cuts.
The sawmill alignment steps are:
1.
Prepare the sawmill for alignment
2.
Adjust the blade parallel to the bed rails
3.
Adjust the blade guide arm parallel to the saw head brace
4.
Align blade guides to the blade
5.
Adjust side supports square to the bed
6.
Final Adjustments.
To insure accurate alignment, the sawmill frame must be level and a blade properly installed.
See SECTION 3 Setup & Operation
for setup information.
6.2
Preparing The Sawmill For Alignment
Before performing the following alignment procedures, setup the mill on firm, level ground. String the bed
and adjust the legs so the frame is level as described in
Section
.
6.3
Blade Installation and Alignment
Install a blade and apply the appropriate tension as shown in
Section 3.3
.
1.
Close the blade housing cover and make sure all persons are clear of the open side of the saw head.
2.
Start the motor for a moment.
WARNING!
Do not spin the blade wheels by hand. Spinning the blade
wheels by hand may result in serious injury.
3.
Turn off the motor, open the blade housing cover, remove the key from the key switch (or turn off the power
supply using the switch on the electric box) and check the position of the blade on the blade wheels.
Check the vertical alignment of the idle-side blade wheel. The gullet of the blade should ride the same
distance from the front edge of the wheel at the top and bottom of the wheel. If it does not, loosen and tighten
the appropriate adjustment screws on the wheel shaft.
See Figure 6-1.
The blade wheels should be adjusted so that the gullet of 1 1/4" blades ride 1/8" (3 mm) out
from the front edge of the wheels (±1/26 [1 mm]). The gullet of 1 1/2" blades should ride 3/16" (4.5 mm) from
the front edge of the wheels (±1/26 [1 mm]). Do not let the teeth ride on the wheels.
