Making Adjustments to Your Saw

This procedure requires two measurements. For the first measurement, set the tilt angle to 0° and lower the

blade below the table. Make sure to back the hand wheels off slightly to release the pressure between the

trunnion assembly and limit stops. Next, position the dial test indicator near the right side of the blade. The

indicator measurement arm should rest against the blade approximately ½ inch inside the front edge of the

blade and about ½ inch higher than the top of the arbor washer (see Fig. 55). Depending on the geometry of

your dial test indicator, it may be necessary to position the indicator below the table.

Now measure the parallelism of the blade relative to

the miter slots in the table as described above in the

section named “Aligning the Table,” see page 46.

If necessary, adjust the alignment of the table so

that the blade is parallel to the miter slots when the

blade is below the table.

For the second measurement, raise the blade to the

maximum height above the table, making sure to

back the elevation hand wheel off slightly to release

the pressure between the trunnion assembly and

the upper elevation limit stop. Reposition the dial

test indicator so that the measurement arm is resting

against the blade approximately ½ inch inside the

front edge of the blade and about ½ inch higher

than the top of the arbor washer (see Fig. 48).

Measure the parallelism of the blade relative to the

miter slots in the table as described above.

If the second measurement is 0.002 inch or less,

then the blade elevation assembly is aligned within

the margin of error for this measurement and,

therefore, no further alignment is needed. If the

second measurement is greater than 0.002 inch,

you can adjust the angle of the rear shaft relative to

the front shaft to reduce the error.

The angle of the rear shaft is set by the eccentric

bushing at the bottom of the shaft (see Fig. 56). The

eccentric bushing is locked in place by a set screw

in the elevation plate, and a smaller set screw in the

side of the bushing.

To adjust the shaft angle, make sure the blade is

still about 3 inches above the table and the dial

indicator is still reading the second measurement (if

not, repeat the second measurement as described

above). Next, loosen the set screw in the elevation

plate using a 4 mm allen wrench and the smaller set

screw in the eccentric bushing using a 2.5 mm allen

wrench. You can access the set screws by opening

the belt access door on the left side of the cabinet.
