Availability
circuit Information
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-
ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion, fire, or equipment damage, installation work
and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup-
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult a qualified electrician if
you are unsure about wiring practices or
electrical codes in your area.
Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power
supply.
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-
ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-
tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
full-Load current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
circuit Requirements for 220v
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:
full-Load current Rating at 220v ....9.5 Amps
full-Load current Rating at 110v...... 19 Amps
Nominal voltage .............................. 220v/240v
cycle..........................................................60 hz
phase........................................... Single-phase
circuit Rating...................................... 15 Amps
plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 6-15
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
circuit Requirements for 110v
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-
loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.
This machine can be converted to operate on a
110V power supply (refer to Voltage Conversion
instructions) that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
Nominal voltage ...............................110v/120v
cycle..........................................................60 hz
phase........................................... Single-phase
circuit Rating...................................... 20 Amps
plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 5-20
cord........“S”-Type, 3-Wire, 12 AWG, 300 vAc

Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
the machine to power before completing the
setup process. DO NOT connect to power
until instructed later in this manual.
For 220V operation: This machine is equipped
with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-
ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-
ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-
ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
GROUNDED
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

For 110V operation: The plug specified under
“Circuit Requirements for 110V” on the previ-
ous page has a grounding prong that must be
attached to the equipment-grounding wire inside
the included power cord. The plug must only be
inserted into a matching receptacle (see below)
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.

Extension cords
Disabling & Locking
Switch
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
The ON/OFF switch can be disabled and locked
by inserting a padlock through the ON button,
as shown. Locking the switch in this manner can
prevent unauthorized operation of the machine,
which is especially important if the machine is not
stored inside an access-restricted building.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:
IMPORTANT: Locking the switch with a padlock
only restricts its function. It is not a substitute
for disconnecting power from the machine when
adjusting or servicing.
Minimum Gauge Size at 110v..............12 AWG
Minimum Gauge Size at 220v .............14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Padlock
Shaft
voltage conversion
the voltage conversion MUSt be performed by
a qualified electrician. to perform the voltage
conversion, replace the power cord, install the
correct plug, and rewire the motor to the new volt-
age, according to the provided wiring diagram on
page 52.

tion box.
children or untrained people can be
seriously injured by this machine. This
risk increases with unsupervised operation.
To help prevent unsupervised operation,
disable and lock the switch before leaving
machine unattended! place key in a well-
hidden or secure location.
To convert the machine to 110v:
1. diSConneCt MAChine FroM poWer!
2. replace the power cord with one that match-
es the cord specifications under circuit
Recommendations for 110v on page 9.
NOTICE
The padlock shaft diameter is important to
the disabling function of the switch. With
any padlock used to lock the switch, test

Dust collection
DO NOT operate the Model G0457 without an
adequate dust collection system. This saw
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. failure to use a dust collec-
tion system can result in short and long-term
respiratory illness.
Recommended cfM at Dust port: 400 cfM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
figure 19. Correctly installed fence.
24. push the handle down to lock the fence
assembly in place.
25. position the resaw fence evenly on the table
and use the locking adjustment handle to lock
it in place.
To connect a dust collection hose:
26. thread the M8-1.25 hex nut halfway onto the
M8-1.25 x 80 hex bolt (this is the positive stop
bolt).
1. Fit the 4" dust hose over the dust port, as
shown in figure 21, and secure in place with
a hose clamp.
27. thread the positive stop bolt into the thread-
ed hole on bandsaw body as shown in figure
20.
2. tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per-
formance.

Blade Tracking
Blade Centered
on peak of Crown
the blade tracking is primarily affected by the
tilt of the upper wheel, also known as "Center
tracking"; and the alignment of both wheels, also
known as "Coplanar tracking." (For Coplanar
tracking, see the Wheel Alignment instructions
on page 49.)
Blade
Centered
on Wheel
Wheel
the wheels on the Model g0457 were aligned at
the factory, so Center tracking is the only adjust-
ment that needs to be performed when the saw
is new.

7. Spin the upper wheel with one hand and
rotate the tracking control knob with the other
hand to make the blade ride in the center of
the bandsaw wheel tire.
5. Spin the upper wheel by hand at least three
times and watch how the blade rides on the
crown of the wheel. refer to figure 22 for an
illustration of this concept.
8. tighten the tracking control lock knob and
close the upper wheel cover.
—If the blade rides in the center of the
upper wheel and is centered on the peak
of the wheel crown, then the bandsaw is
already tracked properly and no further
adjustments are needed at this time.
For the best performance from your saw, regularly
maintain the proper tracking of the blade.
NOTICE
changes in the blade tension may change
the blade tracking.
—If the blade does not ride in the center
of the upper wheel and is not centered
on the peak of the wheel crown, then
continue with the following steps.

Table Tilt calibration
Table Alignment
the pointer on the table tilt scale must be calibrat-
ed in order for the scale reading to be accurate.
to ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, the table should be aligned so that the
miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. this
procedure works best with a 3⁄4" blade installed.
To calibrate the pointer on the table tilt scale:
1. Make sure that the blade is tensioned and is
tracking correctly, and that the table is 90˚ to
the blade (see Table Stop calibration on
page .
To align the table so the miter slot is parallel
to the bandsaw blade:
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
2. loosen the screw on the pointer (figure 25),
but do not remove it.
2. diSConneCt BAndSAW FroM poWer!
3. loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the
trunnions to the table.
4. place an accurate straightedge along the
blade. the straightedge should lightly touch
both the front and back of the blade.
Note: Make sure the straightedge does not
go across a tooth.
5. Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance
between the straightedge and the miter slot.
the distance you measure should be the
same at both the front and the back of the
table (see figure 26).

fence Alignment
Miter Gauge
to ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first
installed, the fence should be aligned with the
miter slot.
the miter gauge needs to be calibrated to the
blade when it is first mounted in the miter slot.
To calibrate the miter gauge:
To align the fence parallel with the miter slot:
1. place one edge of a machinist's square
against the face of the miter gauge and the
other side against the blade face, as shown
in figure 28.
1. if the fence is mounted on the left-hand side
of the blade, remove it and remount it next to
the miter slot.
2. loosen the four cap screws located on the
top face of the fence (figure 27).

Blade Tensioning
NOTICE
After blade tension and tracking are set cor-
rectly, you MUST properly adjust the upper
and lower support bearings and guide-block
assemblies into position before cutting.
A properly tensioned blade is essential for mak-
ing accurate cuts and is a prerequisite for making
many bandsaw adjustments. the blade tension
scale shows the approximate tension, but the
steps below will allow you to get the optimum ten-
sion for the installed blade.
Adjusting Support
To tension the bandsaw blade:
Bearings
1. Make sure you have completed the Test Run
procedure on page 21 and that the blade is
tracking properly.
the support bearings are positioned behind
the blade for support during cutting operations.
proper adjustment of the support bearings is an
important part of making accurate cuts and also
keeps the blade teeth from coming in contact with
the guide bearings while cutting.
2. raise the upper blade guide assembly as
high as it will go, and adjust the upper and
lower guide blocks as far away from the blade
as possible.
To adjust the support bearings:
Note: This procedure will NOT work if the
guide blocks have any contact with the
blade.
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
3. Adjust blade tension until the mark on the
blade tension scale matches the size of the
installed blade.
2. diSConneCt BAndSAW FroM poWer!
3. Familiarize yourself with the support bearing
controls shown in figure 29.
Note: This scale can only be considered a
general guide. Complete the following steps
to accurately set blade tension.

5. Slowly release the tension one quarter of a
turn at a time. When you see the bandsaw
blade start to flutter, stop decreasing the ten-
sion.
6. now, slowly increase the tension until the
blade stops fluttering, then tighten the tension
another quarter turn.

A properly adjusted and tuned bandsaw can be
safer to operate than most other saws and per-
forms many functions with ease and accuracy.
Basic cutting Tips
here are some basic tips to follow when oper-
ating the bandsaw:
•
•
•
•
replace, sharpen, and clean blades as nec-
essary and make adjustments periodically to
keep the saw running in top condition.
Use light and even pressure while cutting.
light contact with the blade will permit easier
line following and prevent undue friction.
Avoid trying to turn tight corners because this
will twist the blade. remember, you must saw
around corners.
Misuse of the saw or using incorrect tech-
niques is unsafe and results in frustration and
poor cuts. remember—the blade does the
cutting with the operator’s guidance.

Workpiece
Inspection
Table Tilt
the bandsaw table will tilt 8˚ left and 45˚ right to
provide a wide range of cutting options. Most cut-
ting operations are done at 90° and rarely will the
table need to be tilted left. remove the positive
stop bolt to tilt the table to the left.
Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may
require modification before they are safe to cut.
Before making cuts, get in the habit of inspect-
ing all workpieces for the following:
To tilt the table:
•
Material Type: this machine is intended for
cutting natural and man-made wood prod-
ucts, laminate covered wood products, and
some plastics. Cutting drywall or cementi-
tious backer board creates extremely fine
dust and may reduce the life of the bearings.
this machine is not designed to cut metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc.; cutting these materials
with this saw may lead to injury.
1. loosen the two table trunnion hand knobs.
2. position the table to the desired angle of tilt.
refer to the angle gauge on the front table
trunnion for the tilting angle.
3. retighten both table trunnion hand knobs.
•
Foreign Objects: nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embed-
ded in wood. While cutting, these objects can
become dislodged and hit the operator or
break the blade, which might then fly apart.
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. if they cannot be removed, do
not cut the workpiece.
•
Large/Loose Knots: loose knots can
become dislodged during the cutting opera-
tion. large knots can cause blade damage.
Choose workpieces that do not have large/
loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting
through them.
•
Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with
a moisture content over 20% causes unnec-
essary wear on the blade and yields poor
results.
•
Excessive Warping: Workpieces with exces-
sive cupping, bowing, or twisting are danger-
ous to cut because they are unstable and can
move unpredictably when being cut. do not
use workpieces with these characteristics!
•
Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cup-
ping can be safely supported if the cupped
side faces the table or fence. on the contrary,
a workpiece supported on the bowed side will
rock during a cut, leading to loss of control.

Guide post
Ripping
the guide post, shown in figure 37, connects the
upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. the
guide post allows the blade guide assembly to
move up or down via a rack and pinion. in order
to cut accurately, the blade guide assembly must
be no more than 1" from the top of the workpiece
at all times—this positioning provides the greatest
support to the blade.
ripping is the process of cutting with the grain of
the wood stock. For plywood and other processed
wood, ripping simply means cutting down the
length of the workpiece.
To rip with the Model G0457:
1. Adjust the fence to match the width of the
cut on your workpiece and lock the fence in
place.
Adjustment

2. Make sure the bandsaw is properly set up
and adjusted as described in SEcTION 3:

3. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade
and continue with the cut until the blade is
completely through the workpiece. figure 38
shows a typical ripping operation.

To adjust guide post:
1. Make sure that the blade tension, blade
tracking, support bearing, and blade guides
are adjusted correctly.
2. loosen the guide post lock knob shown in
figure 37.
3. raise/lower the guide post with the adjust-
ment knob to within 1" from the top of the
workpiece to the bottom of the blade guide
assembly.

NEvER place fingers or hands in the line of
cut. In the event that something unexpected
happens, your hands or fingers may be
pulled into the blade. ALWAyS use a push
stick when ripping narrow pieces. failure to
follow these warnings may result in serious
personal injury!

crosscutting
Resawing
Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the
grain of wood. For plywood and other processed
wood, crosscutting simply means cutting across
the width of the material.
resawing (figure 40) is the process of cutting a
board into two or more thinner boards. the maxi-
mum board width that can be resawn is limited
by the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.
Maximum cutting height for this bandsaw is 10".
To crosscut with the Model G0457:
the Model g0457 14" industrial Bandsaw is
capable of resawing, provided the saw is properly
set up. Attempting to resaw too wide or too dense
of a board may put excessive strain on the blade
and cause breakage.
1. Mark the workpiece on the edge where you
want to begin the cut.
2. Move the fence out of the way. place the
workpiece evenly against the miter gauge.
one of the most important considerations when
resawing is blade selection. generally, the wider
blade, the better. in most applications, a hook or
a skip tooth style will be desirable. Also, since
most resawn lumber will be planed smooth, you
should choose blades with fewer teeth-per-inch
(from 3 to 6). While blades with fewer teeth-per-
inch produce rougher cuts, these types of blades
offer larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust,
reducing heat buildup and reducing strain on the
motor.
3. line up the mark with the blade.
4. After all safety precautions have been met,
turn the bandsaw ON. Slowly feed the
workpiece into the blade and continue the
cut until the blade is all the way through the
workpiece. figure 39 shows a typical cross-
cutting operation.

To resaw a workpiece:
cutting curves
1. verify that the bandsaw is set up properly and
that the table is perpendicular to the blade.
When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and
turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows
the layout line without twisting. if a curve is so
abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back up
and cut a new kerf, use either a narrower blade
or a blade with more tpi (teeth per inch), or make
more relief cuts.
2. Use the widest blade your bandsaw will
accept.
Note: The blade must also be sharp and
clean.
3. Use a fence to guide the workpiece.
Always make short cuts first, then proceed to
the longer cuts. relief cuts will also reduce the
chance that the blade will be pinched or twisted.
relief cuts are cuts made through the waste
portion of the workpiece and are stopped at the
layout line. As you cut along the layout line, waste
wood is released from the workpiece, alleviating
any pressure on the back of the blade. relief cuts
also make backing the workpiece out easier, if
needed.
4. Set your fence to the desired width of cut and
lock it in place.
5. Support the ends of the board if necessary.
6. turn the bandsaw ON.
7. Using push paddles and a push stick, keep
pressure against the fence and table, and
slowly feed the workpiece into the moving
blade until the blade is completely through
the workpiece.

5. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were
cutting a single piece. Follow your layout line
with the blade kerf on the waste side of your
line as shown in figure 41.
Stacked cuts
one of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to
cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack-
ing a number of workpieces together.
cutting into brad nails that are used to
secure the multiple pieces can cause the
blade to break and may cause an injury to
the operator. Be extremely careful of where
you are cutting when performing this opera-
tion.
Before making stacked cuts, ensure that both the
table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°.
otherwise, any error will be compounded with
each piece cut from the top to the bottom of the
stack.
To complete a stacked cut:
1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to
ensure that each piece has adequate scrap
to provide a clean, unhampered cut.
2. Secure all the pieces together in a manner
that will not interfere with the cutting. hot glue
on the edges works well, as do brad nails
through the waste portion. (Be careful not to
cut into the brads!)
3. on the face of the top piece, lay out the
shape you intend to cut.
4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the out-
line of your intended shape in areas where
changes in blade direction could strain the
woodgrain or cause the blade kerf to bind.

can cut tight curves (a small radius) but
are not very good at cutting straight lines
because they naturally wander (blade lead).
however, larger blades are much better at
cutting straight lines, but function poorly at
cutting small curves because of their size.
Selecting the right blade requires a knowledge
of the various blade characteristics mentioned
below, the type of material you plan to cut, and the
type of cut you are going to perform.
Blade Length
Measured by the circumference, blade lengths
are usually unique to the brand of your bandsaw
and the distance between wheels. the Model
g0457 is designed for blades that are 106" long.
refer to the current grizzly catalog for prices and
ordering information.
Tooth Style
When selecting blades, another option to con-
sider is the shape, gullet size, teeth set and teeth
angle—otherwise known as “tooth Style.”
figure 43 shows the three main categories of
tooth style:
Blade Width
Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of
the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is
often the first consideration given to blade selec-
tion. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest
curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it
can cut a straight line.
Raker
Skip
Hook
1
3
the Model g0457 can use blades from ⁄8" to ⁄4
"
in width. Always pick the size of blade that best
suits your application.
•
curve cutting: Use the chart in figure 42 to
determine the correct blade for curve cutting.
determine the smallest radius curve that will
be cut on your workpiece and use the corre-
sponding blade width.
figure 43. raker, Skip & hook tooth styles.
•
Raker: this style is considered to be the
standard because the tooth size and shape
are the same as the tooth gullet. the teeth
on raker blades usually are very numerous,
have no angle, and produce cuts by scrap-
ing the material; these characteristics result
in very smooth cuts, but do not cut fast and
generate more heat while cutting.
•
Skip: this style is similar to a raker blade
that is missing every other tooth. Because
of the design, skip toothed blades have a
much larger gullet than raker blades, and
therefore, cut faster and generate more heat.
however, these blades also leave a rougher
cut than raker blades.
Cutting Radius

•
Hook: the teeth on this style have a posi-
tive angle (downward) which makes them
dig into the material, and the gullets are usu-
ally rounded for easier waste removal. these
blades are excellent for the tough demands
of resawing and ripping thick material.
The most common causes of blade breakage
are:
•
•
Aligning or adjusting the guides incorrectly.
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a
curve of short radius.
Tooth pitch
•
•
Feeding the workpiece into the blade too
fast.
Usually measured as tpi (teeth per inch), tooth
pitch determines the size of the teeth. More teeth
per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother;
while fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut
rougher, but faster. As a general rule, choose
blades that will have at least three teeth in the
material at all times. Use fine pitched blades on
harder woods and coarse pitched blades on softer
woods.
Using a blade with dull teeth or the absence
of sufficient set.
•
•
incorrect tension.
Setting the top blade guide assembly set too
high above the work piece.
•
•
Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-
ished braze or weld.
Blade care
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that
is subjected to tremendous strain. you can obtain
longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair
treatment and always use the appropriate feed
rate for your operation.
Continuously running the bandsaw when not
in use.
Be sure to select blades with the proper width,
style, and pitch for each application. the wrong
choice of blades will often produce unnecessary
heat which will shorten the life of your blade.
A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty
blade. dirty or gummed up blades pass through
the cutting material with much more resistance
than clean blades. this extra resistance also
causes unnecessary heat.
Blade Breakage
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to
break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some
cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar
stresses that bandsaw blades are subjected to.
Blade breakage is also due to avoidable circum-
stances. Avoidable breakage is most often the
result of poor care or judgement on the part of the
operator when mounting or adjusting the blade or
support guides.

Tires
2. Wipe the old grease off the bearing surfaces
of the table trunnions. Start with the outward
side of the table trunnions (figure 57) when
the table is at 0°, then tilt the table to 45° and
wipe off the inward side. the old grease will
be contaminated with sawdust, so you want
to remove as much of it as you can.
As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the
wheels may need to be redressed if they harden or
glaze over. redressing the rubber tires improves
blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.
if the rubber tires become too worn, then blade
tracking will become extremely difficult. At that
point, redressing will no longer be effective and
the rubber tires must be replaced.
Note: For easiest access to the trunnions and
the best cleaning results, consider removing
the table during this procedure.
To redress the rubber tires:
1. diSConneCt BAndSAW FroM poWer!
2. put on heavy leather gloves.
3. remove the blade.

5. hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rub-
ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. only
redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh
rubber surface.

3. Use mineral spirits or degreaser to clean any
remaining grease from the trunnions. Make
sure to thoroughly wipe off the degreaser or
mineral spirits after use so they won't con-
taminate the new grease.
4. Use a small, clean brush to apply nlgi#2 or
equivalent automotive-grade multi-purpose
grease to the trunnion bearing surfaces. After
applying, tilt the table back and forth from 0°
to 45° to distribute the grease.

Shimming Table
Blade Lead
to ensure accuracy when cutting stacked
workpieces, the table should be 90˚ to the back of
the blade as shown in figure 61. if the table is not
perpendicular to the back of the blade, the table
needs to be shimmed.
Bandsaw blades sometimes wander off the cut
line when sawing, as shown in figure 62. this is
called blade lead. Blade lead is commonly caused
by too fast of a feed rate, a dull or abused blade,
or improper tension. if your blade is sharp/undam-
aged and you still have blade lead, perform the
following instructions.
Shims can be made of any durable object that
can be sandwiched between the table and the
trunnions. We recommend using shim washers or
shim stock because of the wide range of available
thicknesses. these items can be purchased at
your local hardware store.

To shim the table:
2. Check that the miter slot or fence is parallel
to the blade line, and correct if necessary.
1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly
and that it is correctly tensioned.
3. Check for proper blade tension. if the blade
tension is correct and it is not convenient to
replace the blade, compensate for lead by
skewing the fence or adjusting the table.

3. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-
out moving it. now slide the fence over to
the board so it barely touches one end of the
board.
Shifting Table
1. on a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is
perpendicular to the front edge.
2. Cut halfway through the board on the line by
pushing it into the blade.
4. loosen the four cap screws on top of the
fence.
3. turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade
to stop.
5. Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of
the scrap piece. you may need to re-adjust
the fence locking mechanisms to gain maxi-
mum adjustment.
4. loosen the table mounting bolts, shift the
table to compensate for the blade lead, then
retighten the bolts.
6. While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap
screws.
5. repeat Steps 1–4 until the blade cuts
straight.
NOTICE
Lead adjustments will change when new
blades are mounted on the saw.
NOTICE
If the table is shifted, the fence will need
to be re-aligned, and the blade guides and
blade support will need to be re-adjusted.
