Positive.Stop

The positive stop allows the table to be quickly and accu-

rately returned to the horizontal (0˚) position after being

adjusted to a different angle.

To set the positive stop, do these steps:

1.. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Adjust the blade tension to the appropriate level for

the blade size on the blade tension scale (see

Page.

22).

3. Loosen the jam nut that locks the positive stop bolt

in place, as shown in

FIgure.20.

4. Raise the guide post and place a machinist’s square

on the table next to the side of the blade as illus-

trated in

Figure.21. Adjust the table square with the

blade using the table tilt handwheel, then secure

with the table tilt lock lever.

5. Adjust the positive stop bolt so it just touches the

table and secure it by tightening the jam nut against

the bandsaw.

6. Check the adjustment for accuracy once you have

tightened the jam nut.

7. Loosen the screw on the table tilt scale pointer, but

do not remove it.

8. Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on the

table tilt scale, then tighten the screw to secure the

setting.
