Blade Guide Arm Alignment
The blade guide arm moves the outer blade guide in and out. If the arm becomes loose, the blade
guide will not deflect the blade properly, causing inaccurate cuts. A loose blade guide arm can also
cause blade vibration.
1. Adjust the blade guide arm in to 1/2" (15 mm) from fully closed.
2. Manually try to move the arm up and down. If you can move the arm by hand, you will need to tighten
the arm rollers.
See Figure 7-3. Loosen the jam nuts and turn the adjustment bolts in to tighten the blade guide arm
rollers. Retighten the jam nuts.
After tightening the blade guide arm rollers, check that the arm is aligned properly.
Blade Guides
3. With the arm adjusted 1/2" (15 mm) from fully closed, measure the distance between the blade guide
roller flange and the back of the blade. If the sawmill is equipped with optional all-ceramic guides,
measure from the back of the blade to the back roller.
