G0640X 17" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

The fence must be parallel to the miter slot in

order to yield accurate results.

To check/align the fence parallel with the

miter slot:

1. Mount the fence next to the miter slot and

examine the edges of each.

— If the fence is parallel with the miter slot,

then no adjustments are necessary.

— If the fence is NOT parallel with the miter

slot, continue to Step 2

.

2. Loosen the four cap screws located on the

top face of the fence (

Figure 31).

Figure 31. Four fence cap screws.

The miter gauge needs to be calibrated to the

blade when it is first mounted in the miter slot.

To calibrate the miter gauge:

1. Place a machinist's square on the table so

one edge is evenly touching the blade face,

as shown in

Figure 32, and the other edge is

touching the miter gauge.

2. Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge

and adjust it until flush with the edge of the

square.

3. Tighten the lock knob, and verify the setting.

Note: Sometimes the tightening procedure

can affect the adjustment.

4. Adjust the stop screw and related lock nut on

the underside of the miter gauge. This stop

screw allows the miter gauge to return to the

exact measurement repeatedly without using

the square.

5. Loosen the screw that secures the angle

pointer and adjust the pointer to the 0° mark

on the scale.

6. Retighten the screw that secures the angle

pointer.

7. Repeat Steps 1–4 with the two 45° stops,

using a 45° square as a gauge.

3. Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of

the miter slot.

4. Tighten the four cap screws, being careful not

to move the fence.

NOTICE

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot

does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter

slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the

side of the blade, which is covered in the

Aligning Table instructions on Page 23
