To ensure accuracy when cutting stacked workpieces, the
table should be 90˚ to the back of the blade as shown in
Figure.53. If the table is not perpendicular to the back of
the blade, the table needs to be shimmed.
Shims can be made of any durable object that can be
sandwiched between the table and the trunnions. We rec-
ommend using shim washers or shim stock because of the
wide range of available thicknesses. These items can be
purchased at your local hardware store.
To.shim.the.table,.do.these.steps:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and
that it is correctly tensioned.
2.. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
3. Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the trunnions
to the table.
4. Shim between the table and the two trunnions to
move the table in the desired direction.
5. Follow the Aligning.Table instructions on Page.23 to
complete this procedure.

"Blade Lead" means that the blade does not cut straight
when using the fence or miter gauge (see .Figure.54). This
is a common condition with all bandsaws. Worn or dam-
aged blades may cause lead and replacing them will fix the
problem. Still, if your bandsaw is setup correctly and lead
occurs, compensate for it by skewing the fence.
To.correct.blade.lead,.do.the.following.steps.and.make.
a.test.cut.before.skewing.the.fence:
1. Ensure that you have proper blade tension (refer to
Page.19).
2. Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted correctly
(refer to Pages.20.&.21).
3. Ensure that the miter slot or fence is parallel to the
blade (refer to Page.23).
