Blade Tilt Stops
the table saw features bolts that stop the blade tilt
exactly at 45° and 90° when using the handwheel.
these stops have been set at the factory and
should require no adjustments, unless you notice
that your cuts are not accurate.
Note: The tilt scale reads "0" when the blade is
90° to the table.
