2. run a test piece through the resaw and
measure the thickness of the test piece with
calipers.
3. Disconnect the resaw from power!

2. rotate the adjustment shaft until the support
wheel is approximately 0.016" behind the
back of the blade. Check with a feeler gauge
or four thicknesses of a dollar bill.
3. tighten the lock bolt.
4. spin the wheels clockwise by hand. if the
support wheels turn, increase the spacing
between the blade and the bearing (the
bearings should only turn when cutting).
note—to prevent the blade from wearing a
groove into the support wheel adjust the height
periodically. Move the adjustment shaft up or
down until the blade contacts the support wheel
in a new place.
