4.9 Blade Height Scale
See Figure 4-5. The blade height scale is attached to the carriage head frame. It
includes:
a blade height indicator
an inch scale
a quarter scale
The scales are attached to the frame and move up and down with the carriage head. The
blade indicator, used to read the inch and quarter scales, remains stationary.
Blade Height Indicator
The blade height indicator has two horizontal, red lines on both sides. Readings should
be taken with eyes level with the indicator, when the two red lines are in line. This will
allow to avoid the parallax error (different scale readings depending on the angle of
vision).
The Inch Scale
The horizontal red line on the blade height indicator shows how many inches the bottom
of the blade is above the bed of the mill. If you know the height of your blade at each cut,
you can determine the thickness of lumber you are sawing.
