Uneven bandsaw table

Oct 26, 2004 2 Replies

I have a 12" Jet bandsaw. Material catches on the lip when feeding material into the blade. By lip I mean where the table has a slot for sliding a blade for mounting. Using hand pressure I can true up the table so that a straight edge will lay flat, but as soon as I release the pressure the straight edge will have a gap on the infeed side.



Any help would be appreciated.



TIA

In most, if not all, bandsaws there is a tapered pin that is inserted into a hole in the edge of the table that bridges the slot. When this pin is in place it keeps the table flat.

Is your pin missing?

$1.79, replace if missing. If you've got a bit of a burr which is catching versus a missing pin, chamfer the iron with a bit of 220 SiC paper.
