Re: Out of ideas to fix blade alignment
|
If you clamp a thin flat 6" rule to the side of the blade-body (above the teeth!) as in 'Adjusting the bearing guide seats...' bottom of pg14 of the Wilton 5x8 manual in the Files section (called m_3130.pdf), that will give you the direction on the blade.? A spring type clothes peg will do but the rule has to be very flat. To mark the table screw positions, get a couple of 1/4"x20 UNC setscrews?(pointed is best but cone point will do) and screw them into the mounting?holes point up and leave protruding 10~20thou. ? Position the table so the edge is parallel to the blade direction shown by the clipped on steel rule Then tap the table over the set screws to leave a centre punch?mark to drill into?
In fact, do one hole first.? Mark, drill and countersink and fasten the table lightly on the guide bracket, then line it up with the clipped-on rule, before marking the second hole
