Good Morning all,
I have recently being trying to setup up a secondhand Record BS300. So far I have pretty much stripped down the machine apart from removing the main bandwheels.
The tool now seems to be cutting pretty well and I think as straight as I can probably expect giving I have only just started to experiment with tension settings and bearing adjustments.
In saying that I have a couple of questions.
1) The blade seems to be drifting by about 1-2 from front to back i.e. towards and away from the thrust bearing - how can I prevent this?
2) The blade and table are at 90 deg when looking from the front however when looking side on the blade is slightly out of alignment from top to bottom i.e. around 1-2 gap at top of set square when placed on the table. Is the only way to adjust this to shim up the table fittings to the trunnion?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Ben
