Unisaw Tuneup

Dec 16, 2004 9 Replies

I have a 15 year old Delta Unisaw and it's time for an adjustment of the blade. The only information I can find on the web is to loosen the 4 screws that attach the table to the cabinet, adjust the blade to parallel the miter slot, then retighten the bolts.



I remember when I last made the adjustment that it wasn't quite that easy.



Any tips or websites?



Mr Fixit eh


Try here, lots of info:

That's going to require some precision measuring devices and some time.

You should adjust blade to miter slot.

You should then adjust fence to blade.

A popsicle stick and a short length of dental floss.

Sumptin' tells me there's a story behind this.

and you don't really *need* the popsicle stick. just use the dental floss.....

Bridger:

I'm not too awfully sure about that. I've found that with floss alone, there's always the need for a crusty booger or two.

if you don't brush your teeth for a few days beforehand, the floss will be sticky enough by itself....
