Adjusting the Position of the Guide Wheel

The lumber guide wheel is the final point of adjustment for the lumber before it is cut. The guide wheels job is to position the lumber so that it is inline with saw blade 1 and 2. If you find that the lumber isn’t being cut at all (the wheel is pushing the lumber too far to the right or isn’t pushing it in far enough and is consistently cutting length off of the lumber when it is a doing a standard 90 degree cut adjusting the wheel position can help.

To adjust follow these steps:

Step 1: Loosen two of the jam nuts on the threaded rod under the wheel (there are four total). Move the wheel in or out depending on what issue you are trying to correct and then retighten the jam nuts.
