Mark VII Restored Manual - V1.02 – Donated without cost to the world-wide Shopsmith Community - Everett L. Davis 2016 18
If blade is not centered in slot when inter-latch is
engaged, adjust by loosening locknut on inter-latch rod
and screwing rod in or out as required. (Fig. 28).
Retighten locknut.
BLADE PROJECTION
Avoid extremes in blade projection above work. For
flat ground blades, 1/4" to 1/2" or exposure to
deepest gullet of blade, is safe and efficient. With
hollow ground blades exposure should be at least
3/4".
When saw blade, dado or other cutting tools must be
set to a definite height, use the depth-of-cut scale
engraved on each side of rip fence. Bring fence close
to blade and lock in position. Raise or lower table until
cutting tool height is correct (Fig. 29). This exclusive
SHOPSMITH feature guarantees accurate depth of cut
since it is not affected by blade sharpening, various
blade sizes, etc.
BLADE TO FENCE SETTINGS
SHOPSMITH'S quill feed makes precise blade-to-fence
settings easy. Set the rip fence manually to an
approximate position within 1/8" of the setting
required. Lock the fence and make the final, critical
adjustment by advancing the quill (Fig. 30) and locking
it in position with the quill lock.
