Attaching the Tape
The Measuring Tape on the Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence will
transform your band saw into a woodworking machine capable of
exact cuts and repeatable accuracy.
1. Position the fence against the blade making sure the fence is
touching but not deflecting the blade.
2. Use a pencil to scribe a line on the Mounting Rail above and below
the red line on the Lens Cursor. Remove the Fence and Clamp Block
assembly from the Mounting Rail by loosening the Lock Down Knob
and pushing forward on the Clamp Block until the double-dovetail
surfaces disengage lifting the assembly off the Mounting Rail.
3. Peel the backing away from the Self-Adhesive Measuring Tape
exposing about an inch of the “sticky” side of the tape. Place the
Measuring Tape in the shallow groove provided on the Mounting Rail
aligning the “Zero” mark on the Measuring Tape with the pencil lines
you scribed on the Mounting Rail. Once the first inch of the
Measuring Tape is in place pull the remaining backing from under
the Measuring Tape pressing firmly along the length of the tape till
it covers the entire length of the Mounting Rail. Trim the Measuring
Tape to fit the Mounting Rail. Reinstall the Fence and Clamp Block
assembly on the Mounting Rail and check the red line of the Lens
Cursor against the “Zero” mark on the Measuring Tape. You can “re-
zero” the red line by loosening the screw that holds the Lens Cursor
in place and readjust the Lens Cursor if necessary.
Tip
If you fold the backing under the measuring tape toward the bottom
of the markings at a 90° angle it will be easier to peel the remaining
backing from under the Measuring Tape after it is placed in position.
Adjusting Parallelism
The Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence is equipped with set screws to
make minor adjustments to the fence so that the vertical surface
of the HD Trak is exactly parallel with the blade. Be certain that the
unparallel surfaces between the blade and fence are not the result
of a table that is not square to the blade. Refer to the instructions
provided by the band saw manufacturer for information on how to
align the table square to the blade. If you still feel it is necessary to
make this adjustment begin by threading the rear set screws in the
Clamp Block down till they contact the surface of the Mounting Rail.
Once these set screws touch the Mounting Rail surface either the
left screw or the right screw may be adjusted to align the “face” of
the fence parallel with the blade.
Tip
Reserve the parallel adjustment for thin cuts where even the smallest
difference between the top and bottom of the cut are noticeable.
These cuts may include material removal from tenons and dovetailing
operations. This adjustment is also very beneficial for adjusting the
fence to eliminate tapered pieces when cutting veneers.
