The table should also be 90° to the back edge of
the blade. If the table is not perpendicular to this
edge, it may be necessary to shim the table in the
desired direction with washers. Remove the trun-
nion bolts and add washers between the table
and trunnion so the table tilts in the desired direc-
tion. Electrical washers are very thin and will allow
fine adjustment.
Distance A should be approximately equal
to distance B. See Figure 30. Adjust the
table slightly until these distances are
equal.
3. Secure the table by retightening the trun-
nion bolts. Recheck table position to ensure
that unwanted shifting did not occur during
retightening.
The fence can be adjusted slightly by applying
pressure on the fence and skewing it in the
desired direction. If the natural line of cut is too
extreme, you may choose to slide the fence out of
the way and clamp a pivot block to the table in
place of the fence. When cutting irregular shapes,
slide the fence completely out of the way. To
adjust the fence:
1. Find a 3 ⁄
4
" scrap piece of wood roughly the
same length as the saw fence and 2" or 3"
wide.
2. Draw a line along the wide face and parallel
with the edge.
3. Slide the fence out of the way and cut free-
hand along the line, stopping at the halfway
point. Turn the bandsaw off and wait for the
blade to stop.
4. Without moving the scrap piece, temporarily
clamp it to the bandsaw table.
5. Slide the fence against the scrap piece and
adjust the fence so it is parallel with the
scrap piece.
