Miter Gauge
Figure 30. Squaring miter gauge to blade.
The miter gauge needs to be calibrated to the blade
when it is first mounted in the miter slot. Refer to the
Blade Lead section on Page 25 for more informa-
tion about typical bandsaw cutting habits.
To calibrate the miter gauge:
1. Use a machinist's square with one edge against
the face of the miter gauge and the other
against the blade face as shown in Figure 30.
2. Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and
adjust it flush with the edge of the square.
3. Tighten the lock knob, and verify the setting.
Note: Sometimes the tightening procedure can
affect the adjustment.
4. Loosen the screw that secures the angle pointer
and adjust the pointer to the 0˚ mark on the
scale.
5. Retighten the screw that secures the angle
pointer.
