I just got the Milwaukee SCMS that many people got on clearance from HD. Unfortunately, mine is not calibrated correctly.
I've managed to adjust the positive stop for the fence to blade, its now square. However, I'm having trouble adjusting the positive stop for the table to blade. This would be the bevel angle stops. Anyone who has this saw have to adjust this?
The manual states the following, I'm stuck on step 5 as I'm not sure which two screws it is referring to and I don't want to guess and screw something up.
Squaring the Blade (90°) to the Table
(0° Bevel)
1. Unplug saw
2. Place a square against the table and
blade and ensure that the square is not
touching blade teeth as this will cause
an inaccurate measurement.
3. Remove the 6 screws holding the dust
chute together.
4. Move the bevel adjustment lever to the
middle position and wedge in a tool
(screw driver etc.) so the handle stay in
the middle position. Move the saw head
so that the bevel detent mechanism
locks into the 0° bevel detent.
5. Loosen 2 screws (T25) on the front of
the bevel arm, these screws are used
to clamp the detent body.
6. Using a T25 wrench you can adjust
the bevel setting of the blade-to-table.
Clockwise tilts blade to the right, counterclockwise
tilts blade to the left.
7. When you have the blade set to the 0°
bevel, torque the 2 screws to 85-100 in
lbs.
8. Remove the tool used to wedge the
bevel adjustment lever.
9. Move the bevel adjustment lever to
"lock".
10. Reassemble the dust chute sides, tightening
the 6 screws securely.
11. If necessary, loosen the left and right
bevel pointer adjustment screws and
reposition the pointers the so that they
indicates exactly zero. Once the pointers
are properly positioned, retighten the
bevel pointer adjustment screw.
Any help would be great
Thanks
