Woodhaven 7282: Large Bandsaw Fence User Manual

Page 4

From the bottom of each guide, insert a 1-1/4" bolt (HB040)

through the slot and install a 3/8" spacer (BUSH050) and an oval nut
(5760B) on the bolt. See fig. 7A

Insert a 1-1/4" bolt (HB040) through the hole in each track

bracket (7280T) and install a washer (WB002) and knob (5540) on
each bolt. Slide the bolt head into the center T-slot of the Ultra Track
Fence and the track bracket on to the oval nut on top of the guide.
Along with the knob underneath the guide, tightening the track brack-
et knob and the bolt underneath the guide double locks the fence at
the blade lead angle. See fig. 7B & 7C.

If desired, the fence can be adjusted for square vertically, but

make sure the fence rails are parallel to the table top first. Turning
the thumb screw (5503 - installed earlier in the guide) will raise
the back of the guide, tipping the fence forward. Moving the thumb
screw to the opposite hole (closest to the fence) will tip the fence
back. Retighten the knobs and check for square. It may also be
necessary to flip the Ultra Track fence over, or end for end, to get the
fence square. Be sure to loosen the knobs clamping the guides to the
double tracks BEFORE adjusting the thumb screws! See fig. 8.

USING THE FENCE

The Ultra Track fence can be adjusted up to 10 degrees each

way to compensate for blade lead. To determine your blades lead
angle, draw a line parallel to the long edge of a 18-24" long board, 1-
2" in from the edge. Without using the fence, start cutting on the line
of the board. It will become apparent that you will have to angle the
board slightly to follow the line. Stop cutting about halfway along
the length of the board, hold (or clamp) the board in position, and
stop the saw.

Loosen the knobs holding the guide to the tracks, plus the bot-

tom knobs and bolts holding the Ultra Track to the guides. Butt the
fence against the board to set the fence to your blades lead angle.
Retighten the knobs holding the guides to the tracks first, then tighten
the knobs and bolts underneath the guides that fasten the Ultra Track.
See fig. 9.

By loosening the two knobs holding the guides to the double

tracks, you can slide the fence left or right. Retightening the knobs
will pull the fence back to the lead angle you set. By loosening the
knobs holding the double tracks to the brackets, you can reposition
them. By loosening the four knobs holding the Ultra Track fence,
you can reposition it. Use the Track Stop on the Ultra Track fence
when making stopped cuts.

We have a unique Circle Jig (7287) available that will cut cir-

cles as large as 47-1/2" in diameter without the need for a starting cut.
