6.3.3 Setting the Table Parallel to the Blade
Refer to Figure 14.
1. Disconnect the band saw from the power source.
2. The blade should be fully tensioned and properly tracked.
3. Place a long straightedge ruler flush against the blade, making sure it contacts both the
front and back of the blade.
4. Use another ruler to carefully measure the distance from the miter slot to the straight
edge. Take measurements at both the front and the back of the table – these should be
the same.
5. If the miter slot is not parallel to the blade, loosen the three locking bolts (A), and shift the
table support assembly as needed until the miter slot is parallel to the blade.
6. Tighten the locking bolts (A).
