Greetings SMC,
I recently acquired an older SCMI SI12 sliding table saw, about 20 years old. It's a great saw still in superb condition. However, I'd like to adjust the height, tilt, attitude, and direction of the sliding table, and there is nothing in the instruction manual about this (among many other things). Does anyone have an SI12 or other older SCMI slider who has expertise on adjusting the slider? There are numerous set screws supporting and built into the slider's base, and it seems pretty obvious what some of them do. I'm not certain about others, though, such as the caphead screws that attach the slider to the saw base (do these adjust the slider or merely fasten it to the base, or both?), and a series of several stacked set and caphead screws along the length of the slider's base (picture attached). If anyone has any insight into this kind of adjustment it would be greatly appreciated. I've already contacted SCM and talked to a technician who, he claimed, had no idea about the saw because he'd never seen or worked with one. Many thanks again, SMC.
