5.18 Saw Head Tilt
As the blade enters a wide log or cant, the outside of the saw head will drop down slightly. To
compensate for the drop, use the lower track roller horizontal bolts to raise the outside of the saw
head 1/16" (1.5 mm).
1. Move the saw head so the blade is positioned 14 3/4" (375 mm) above a bed rail.
2. Adjust the lower track roller horizontal nuts until the blade measures 14 13/16" (376 mm) from the
bed rail near the outer blade guide.
See Figure 5-25.
