6.6 Aligning The Blade Guides
Each Wood-Mizer sawmill has two blade guide assemblies that help the blade maintain a
straight cut. The two blade guide assemblies are positioned on the saw head to guide the
blade on each side of the material being cut.
One blade guide assembly is mounted in a stationary position on the drive side of the saw
head. This assembly is referred to as the "inner" blade guide assembly.
The other blade guide assembly is mounted on the idle side of the saw head. It is referred
to as the "outer" assembly and is adjustable for various widths of materials to be
processed.
Blade guide alignment includes four steps:
Blade Deflection,
Blade Guide Vertical Tilt,
Blade Guide Flange Spacing,
Blade Guide Horizontal Tilt.
Perform the blade guide alignment after you have aligned the blade on the wheels and
adjusted the blade and blade guide arm parallel to the bed rails. After blade guide
alignment, check the scale indicator to make sure it is adjusted properly.
