5.11 Blade Guide Vertical Tilt Adjustment
Check that the blade guide does not tilt the blade up or down. A Blade Guide Alignment
Tool (BGAT) is provided to help you measure the vertical tilt of the blade.
1. Open the adjustable blade guide arm 1/2" (15 mm) from full open.
2. Clamp the alignment tool on the blade. Position the tool close to a blade guide roller.
Be sure the tool does not rest on a tooth or burr, and is lying flat on the blade.
See Figure 5-16.
3. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom of the tool.
NOTE: If the sawmill is equipped with stainless steel bed rail covers, be sure to measure
from the blade guide alignment tool to the top surface of the cover rather than the bed rail
tube.
4. Move the carriage so that the front end of the tool is positioned above the bed rail.
5. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom edge of the tool.
6. Loosen one set screw at the side of the blade guide assembly.
7. Use the set screws shown to tilt the blade guide until the measurement from the bed rail
to the tool equals the first measurement taken at the center of the tool.
