o Slide the fence and scrap stock forward and secure the single Fence Clamp Locking
Screw.
o Turn band saw ON and make a 1 inch test cut in scrap stock. Do not remove stock.
o Depress Brake Pedal to turn power OFF and stop blade motion.
o Check variance of space on either side of back of blade. Alignment is complete
when back of blade is centered in test cut.
• Re-align as necessary:
o Loosen the two Clamp Screws located on the top of the Fence Mounting Bracket.
o Use ‘Star Wheel’ located at base of Fence Mounting Bracket to adjust fence left or
right until blade is centered in test cut.
o Repeat the test cut to ensure you have achieved proper alignment.
o Secure the two Clamp Screws (DO NOT over-tighten).
d. When ripping wood:
• Use a rip fence and gently push the wood through.
• Keep the wood held firmly against the rip fence. Use the magnetic feather boards.
• Push at a 45 degree angle toward the forward direction so that the pressure is evenly
distributed between the forward direction and the rip fence.
• When coming to the end of the rip, always keep your hands clear of the blade and use push
blocks.
e. Re-saw Procedures: The procedure for cutting/slicing thick or thin stock for making veneers or
book-matching. Precise and repeated re-saw cuts can easily be made from a single piece of
stock with proper set-up of the ‘Drift Master Fence’.
• Preparations:
o Adjust fence (HIGH or LOW) to accommodate size of stock to be re-sawed.
o Loosen the single Clamp Fence Lock Screw located on underside of Fence Slide Block
supporting the Fence Mounting Bracket.
o Place stock flat against fence and slide fence with stock forward until it slightly
touches the band saw blade.
o Push the flat Screw Drive Lever forward until it actively engages the Screw Drive
Assembly. (Lever is located at bottom front of Fence Slide Block)
• Adjusting for Desired Thickness of Re-saw:
o Pull the stock back and clear of the blade.
o All cuts will be made from the outboard side of stock opposite of the fence.
