Hello all,
I need some advice on setting up the sliding carriage on this TS, I'm just wondering if what I'm doing is correct?
Record Tech support have told e to set it up 1 to 1.5 mm above the cast table?
In BWW it's suggested ( as Martin Chapman has done ) to clamp timbers to the cast table, clamp the sliding table to that and then tighten the nuts, which would make it level?
I've struggled all day with it trying to set it up, and didn't get a great response from Record in saying that the guy I spoke to originally was great, anyway.......In my head I keep thinking that if the carriage is 1.5 mm highre, then I'll get a chamfered cut if I'm ripping a piece larger then the 610mm capacity or should I be using it purely as a sliding carriage? and keeping my rips under 610mm?
This is my first foray into a more substantial machine, and l'm more than happy with it, this little quandry has got my head reeling,
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Jed
