INNER BLADE GUIDE
12. Move the blade guide alignment tool close to the inner blade guide roller assembly and repeat
the above steps.
13. Adjust the vertical tilt of the inner blade guide, if necessary.
Blade Guide Flange Spacing
Each blade guide must be adjusted so the roller flange is the correct distance from the back edge
of the blade. If the flange is too close to or too far from the blade, the sawmill will not cut accu-
rately.
The blade guide rollers should also be slightly cocked. If the moving blade makes contact with
the leading flange edge of the roller, momentum may cause the blade to slip over the flange.
Contact with the trailing edge would force the blade upward onto the roller.
NOTICE When adjusting blade guide spacing, loosen the top set
screw and one side set screw only. This will ensure horizontal and verti-
cal tilt adjustments are maintained when the adjustment screws are
retightened.
