KNOW YOUR BAND SAW

1. CENTERING THE TABLE

A. Loosen the four Hex bolts mounting the table to the upper table 

trunnion. (See FIG. 10)

B. Move the table sideways as required, until the saw blade runs 

through the center of the table insert.

C. If the adjustment of “B” is not enough to center the table, loosen 

the four flange nuts holding the lower table trunnion and move the 

table sideways to place the table in the center. 

D. Re-tighten Hex bolts for trunnion; recheck the saw blade position. 

2. SETTING TABLE SQUARE TO SAW BLADE ON 

    RIGHT AND LEFT POSITION

Loosen the wing nut on the lower table trunnion and place a suitably 

sized square against the saw blade on right and left position. If the 

table requires adjustment, proceed as follows:

A. Using a  wrench, release the Hex nut under the table. 

(See FIG. 11)

B. Place the wrench on the Hex bolt and adjust until the table is 

square to the saw blade. (See FIG. 11)

C. Tighten the Hex nut and check the saw blade and the table for 

square.

D. Lock the table into position and check that the indicator reads 

zero degrees on the side of lower table trunnion. Loosen the screw 

securing the indicator and reset if necessary to give zero degree 

reading. (See FIG. 12)
