5. Machine Setting
5.1 Tilting the table
The tilt mechanism will be used when squaring the table to the
blade. Tilt the table as follows: Loosen the lock handle on the
table trunnion.
Adjust the table by hand to desired angle. Use
the angle indicator scale on the trunnion bracket to find the
desired angle. Re-tighten the lock handle to secure the table.
5.2 Setting the table stop at 90º to sawblade
Tools Required:- Small 90
º square (Not supplied)
The table can be set at 90
º to the Bandsaw Blade (See Fig.5.2)
by adjusting the table stop screw (See Fig.5.3) underneath the
table.
• First offer the square up to the blade to give an indication of
adjustment required.
• If the table is not at 90º to the blade use table tilting
mechanism (See 5.1) to adjust the table until it is 90º to the
blade. If the table stop screw position is too high it may be
necessary to wind this down out of the way so 90º can be
achieved (See Fig.5.2).
• Once the table is at 90º to the blade lock off the lock handle
on the table tilt mechanism to secure the table position
(See
Fig.5.1).
• Now set the table stop screw (See Fig.5.3), the table stop
screw should be adjusted to meet the registration point on the
underside of the table (now set at 90º) to ensure that the table
always returns to square after tilting. The table stop screw is
located above the bandwheel on the lower bandwheel housing.
By first slackening the locking nut and then adjusting the hex
screw the table stop screw can be set correctly. Re-tighten the
locking nut making sure that the setting is maintained.
5.3 Adjusting the table tilt scale
Once the table is set at 90
º to the Bandsaw Blade it may be
necessary to adjust the angle pointer on the angle scale so any
further angles are accurate. To do this use a Phillips screwdriver
to loosen the pan head screw and adjust the pointer to 0
º (See
Fig.5.1).
CAUTION!
Before carrying out any adjustments or maintenance ensure
that the machine is isolated and disconnected from the
electricity supply.
