SS01 Freecut from the sliding table
To measure the free-cut you will need a dial indicator. Place the indicator on the
sliding table, with the needle touching the saw blade at the front of the blade, but not
the teeth, as shown in figure SS01.1
Figure SS01.1 Start position of the dial indicator
Rotate the saw blade several times and find it’s lowest value. This effectively gives us
a reference point that we will be able to check at the other end of the blade. You can
zero this low-point on the scale or use arithmetic to calculate what the next reading
must be within. For a Ø300mm saw bl
ade, there should be between 0.05mm and
0.1mm of toe-out. (0.002”-0.004” Imperial).
Keeping the dial indicator perfectly stationary on the sliding table, move the sliding
table until the needle of the dial indicator is close to the back tooth of the saw blade,
shown in figure SS01.2. Now rotate the saw blade to find the same low point. This
low-point value subtracted from the previous value equals the current free-cut
amount (LET 0 = 1).
