Scale
The blade height indicator shows how many centimeters the bottom of the blade is above the bed of
the sawmill. If you know the height of your blade at each cut, you can determine the thickness of
lumber you are sawing.
Example: You want to cut 1” (25 mm) random width boards from a log. Position the blade for the first
cut. Move the saw head to an even measurement on the scale. Make a trim cut. Return the saw
head for the second cut and lower it 27 mm below the original measurement. (The extra 2 mm allows
for saw kerf and shrinkage of the lumber.)
3.27 Stop Bolt Adjustment
Adjust the saw head stop bolts so that the distance between the top of the bed rail and a down-set
tooth of the blade is 25 mm.
See Figure 3-26.
