Setup & Operation
Blade Height Scale

2-29 doc041118 Setup & Operation
Example: You want to cut 1" (25 mm) random width boards from a log. Position the blade for the first
cut. Move the carriage to an even measurement on the inch scale. Make a trim cut. Return the
carriage for the second cut and lower it 1 1/8" (29 mm) below the original measurement. (The extra
1/8" (3 mm) allows for saw kerf and shrinkage of the lumber.)
The yellow area on the scale identifies where the blade could encounter a side support or log clamp.
Check that these items are below the blade level before sawing.
The Quarter Scale
See Table 2-2. Two quarter scales are provided with four sets of marks. Each set represents a
specific lumber thickness. Saw kerf and shrinkage allowance are included, but actual board
thickness will vary slightly depending on blade thickness and tooth set.
To choose which scale to use, determine what finished thickness you want to end up with. The
Grade Hardwood Quarter Scale provides thicker finished boards usually required by commercial
buyers. The Standard Quarter Scale allows for kerf and shrinkage of finished boards suitable for
most custom applications. Always check with your customer before you saw to determine what
actual finished thickness is required.
To use the quarter scale, look at the blade height indicator. Line up the horizontal red line on the
indicator with the nearest mark on the scale you want to use. Make a trim cut. When you return the
carriage for a second cut, lower the carriage to the next mark on the scale. This mark shows where
the blade should be positioned to cut a certain thickness of lumber, without having to measure on the
inch scale.
Example: You want to cut 1" (25 mm) (4/4) random width boards from a log. Position the blade for
the first cut. Adjust the quarter scale so a 4/4 mark is aligned with the red line on the indicator. Make
a trim cut. Return the carriage for the second cut. Now, instead of having to measure down 1 1/8" (29
mm) on the inch scale, you can simply lower the blade so the indicator is aligned with the next 4/4
mark on the quarter scale. Turn the log 90 degrees and repeat.
