Pivot Point Calibration Check
Updated
Use a cut test board to check whether the saw-head pivot calibration is correct. This is a visual verification procedure; it does not replace the complete calibration process.
What a correct result looks like
The reference image below shows the expected cut pattern for a properly calibrated pivot point:

On the test board, compare the 30° cut line on the middle-left side with the 60° cut line. When the pivot point is correct, these two lines align horizontally.
Perform the check
- Use a straight, stable test board that is suitable for the complete cut pattern.
- Confirm that the machine is otherwise operating normally and that the blade, centerline, and angle positions have not produced an active fault.
- Run the approved pivot-point test pattern.
- Remove the board only after the cutting cycle is complete and the machine is in a safe state.
- Place the board on a stable surface and compare the 30° and 60° cut lines.
This real-world board shows the two cut lines aligned horizontally:

If the lines do not align
- Do not judge the result from a rough or damaged board edge; repeat the check with a suitable test board if necessary.
- Photograph the complete test pattern and a close-up of the two reference lines.
- Record which saw head produced the test, the observed offset, and whether the result repeats.
- Do not change the pivot point repeatedly to compensate for another mechanical or position problem.
- Contact Enventek Support for the correct calibration procedure if the misalignment is repeatable.
Final verification
After any approved calibration change, cut another test board. The 30° and 60° reference lines must align horizontally and the result must repeat before the saw is returned to normal production.
