Now aim and measure along the string to check that the distance
between the string and the rail is consistent along its entire length.
The aim is to achieve even spacing over the entire length of the rail.
To adjust the straightness, it may be useful to insert wedges under
the rail in places where the straightness deviates.
This step is critical to sawmill
accuracy, so take care and
spend extra time working
on this step.
IMPORTANT!
SETTING: RAIL
Once the rail has been straightened, check that
all rail joints are even and that the outer rail
plates are at the same height as the ones on
the inside. The aim is to ensure that all joints
are as even as possible. Adjust the screw joints
and tighten as necessary.
Tighten the aligned half of the screw joints for the rail when the rail is
aligned over its entire length and the joints are even. Then repeat this
procedure on the other side of the rail to complete the adjustment.
The cord and nuts are then removed.
