To all woodworkers who have table saws:
I have a 1965 Sears Craftsman 10" contractors table saw, model number 113. 29901.
I've posted several questions regarding this saw relating to upgrade and alignment.
I'm attempting to more precisely align the blade to the miter groove. I've installed a PALS kit, and from responses of members of this community have learned that all trunnion bracket bolts must be loosened to perform the alignment. The brackets on this model have 3 front and 3 rear bolts.
My question is that I don't know what the function of the clamp screw/handle on the front of the saw cabinet is. The manual of this model saw states that all 6 bolts must be loosened to perform the alignment after the clamp screw is tightened. I don't know what the screw tightens and how it is involved in the alignment process. Any clarification and guidance would be appreciated.
As always, thanks for your generous comments and guidance!!!
