Making Adjustments to Your Saw

To adjust the alignment, begin by loosening the 4

mounting bolts (see Fig. 47) that attach the table to the

front and rear trunnion brackets using a 17 mm wrench

or an 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.

The table alignment is set by a pivot pin at the front of the

table, and positioning screws near the rear of the table

on both the left and right sides (see Figs. 48 and 49). 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.

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 forward 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. Finally, tighten the four table mounting bolts to secure the table to the front and

rear trunnion brackets. For best results, sequentially tighten each bolt a little at a time until all are tight. Watch

the dial indicator while tightening, and if one bolt causes a significant change, tighten the other bolts first.
