Once the blade guides have been adjusted, any cutting vari

Blade Height Scale Adjustment
After the entire sawmill has been aligned and all adjustments made, check that the blade
height scale indicates the true distance from the blade to the bed rails.
1.
Move the saw mast so the blade is positioned directly above one of the bed rails.
2.
Measure from the bottom edge on a down-set tooth of the blade to the top of the bed rail,
near the inner blade guide assembly.
If the scale does not indicate the actual distance from the blade to the bed rail when
viewed level at the indicator, adjust the indicator.
See Figure 9-9.
3.
Loosen the indicator bracket mounting screws.
4.
Adjust the bracket up or down until the indicator is aligned with the correct mark on the
scale (+0 -1/32 [0.8 mm]).
5.
Retighten the indicator mounting screws.
For example, if the measurement from the down-set tooth of the blade to the bed rail was
14 3/4" (375 mm), make sure the indicator reads 14 3/4" (375 mm) on the scale.
