4.3 Squaring the Sawblade
Both blade wheels must be square to the sawmill bed and parallel to each other in the vertical
plane. If the blade wheels are tilted up or down, the blade will not be properly adjusted in relation
to the sawmill bed.
1. Attach the alignment tool to the blade near the drive-side blade guide. See Fig. 4-4.
NOTE: Ensure the tool does not rest on a tooth or burr, and is lying flat
against the blade.
2. Move the carriage so the front end of the tool is positioned over the first bed rail.
3. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom edge of the tool.
4. Move the carriage so the back end of the tool is positioned over the bed rail.
5. Measure the distance from the bed rail to the bottom edge of the tool.
6. If the two measurements differ by more than 1/16" (1.5 mm), adjust the vertical tilt of the
drive-side blade wheel.
7. Use the screws shown in Fig. 4-5 to adjust the drive blade wheel vertically.
a. Loosen the jam nut on the bottom adjustment screw and tighten the screw.
