Adjusting
Your Saw
To do this, set the tilt angle back to 0° and reposition the dial test indicator as described above. When you slide
the dial indicator mount across the blade, you should see little or no change in the indicator readout since the
table was previously aligned. Now, slide the dial indicator toward the rear of the saw until the measurement arm
is about
1
/
2
inch inside the rear edge of the blade. Set the readout to zero.
The angle of the blade relative to the tilt axis is
controlled by a v-bracket that connects the rear
elevation shaft to the rear trunnion (see Fig. 65). The
v-bracket is connected to the rear trunnion by two bolts
that extend through oversized holes in the v-bracket.
The oversized holes allow the position of the v-bracket
to be adjusted relative to the rear trunnion.
Using the 6 mm hex L-wrench, loosen the bolts just
enough to allow the v-bracket to move when force
is applied. You can access the bolts by opening the
motor cover.
Making Adjustments to Your Saw
For example:
if the difference between the first and second measurements was +0.006 inch,
then the misalignment at 0° should be adjusted to (-2.5)
x
(0.006) = -0.015 inch
To align the blade to the tilt axis, you need to adjust the position of the v-bracket until the misalignment
between the blade and the miter slot at a 0° tilt angle is 2.5 times the difference between the first and second
measurements, but in the opposite direction.
