Re: [ExternalEmail] Re: [4x6bandsaw] Out of ideas to fix blade alignment

Me three!
It’s what I mentioned at the get-go, since my saw has that out-of-squareness too, and….I don’t care, it doesn’t bother me.
If it did, it’s easy enough to fix!

I agree with you.

I must be missing something here.? Why do you care if the blade is square to the table??
Unless you are using a fence or jig do you really care, and if you are using one of them, why not just build it square to the blade?

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 - jv

I actually did have a "reverse slot" table but recently went back to the OE table because I am starting to change blades more often.? It had the same issue but that's probably because I used the OE table as a template.?
I've seen a table just like Kerry's and really love the idea of the insert.? The only problem I have is envisioning how I can make the table so that it's aligned.? I want to use some sort of fence at times so the table needs to be perfectly squared.
