To adjust the alignment of the table, begin by loosening
the four mounting bolts (see Fig. 95) that attach the
table to the cabinet by using a 17 mm wrench, socket,
or adjustable wrench. Slide the dial indicator to the
front of the blade and set the readout to zero. Slide the
dial indicator mount to the rear of the blade. The dial
indicator should now be reading close to the average
measurement you made previously. Note the direction
of the dial indicator reading, whether it is positive or
negative.
The table alignment is set by a pivot pin at the front of
the table (see Fig. 96), and by positioning screws near
the rear of the table on both the left and right sides (see
Fig. 97). You will need to use a 5 mm hex key to adjust
the positioning screws. If the measurement is positive,
loosen the left positioning screw and tighten the right
positioning screw. If the measurement is negative,
loosen the right positioning screw and tighten the left
positioning screw. Make sure that before tightening
one screw you loosen the opposite screw.
You should see the readout on the dial indicator change as you adjust the positioning screws. Adjust the
screws until the readout is the same, but in the reverse direction. For example, if the initial reading was
+0.006 inch, adjust the positioning screw until the reading is -0.006 inch.
Now slide the dial indicator mount back to the front of the blade and re-zero the readout. Slide the indicator
mount smoothly toward the back of the saw until the indicator measurement arm is about
1
⁄
2
inch inside the
rear edge of the blade. The new measurement should be much closer to 0.000 inch.
If the new measurement is still too high, repeat the above process until the parallelism between the blade and
the miter slot is satisfactory. Now, tighten the positioning screw that you loosened until it stops. Do not apply a
lot of torque to this screw since that could push the table back out of alignment.
If you are going to make adjustments in the blade tilt alignment go on to the section “Aligning the Blade to the
Tilt Axis” on page
69 . Otherwise, tighten the four table mounting bolts to secure the table to the cabinet. For
best results, tighten each bolt a little at a time in a “star pattern” until all are tight. Watch the dial indicator while
tightening, and if one bolt causes a signifi cant change, tighten the other bolts fi rst.
The bolts that attach the table to the front of the
cabinet are shown below. The bolts that attach the
table to the back of the cabinet (not shown) can
be accessed by opening the motor cover and side
access panel. Tilt the blade to approximately 30º to
access the left, rear bolt.
