    Rikon 10-340 fence instructions

    Hope this works.
    Have several requests for the fence instructions for the 18" Rikon bandsaw. Being of febel mind, I couldn't figure out how to post them because the word file was too large. Thanks to John Milliunas I think it will work now.

    Install the rear fence rail to the table with (2) M6-1.0 x 20 hex bolts and (2) flat washers.

    Install the front fence rail to the table with (4) thumbscrews and (4) flat washers M8. This front rail also helps with leveling the table on either side of the blade slot.

    Make sure the end cap is locked into the rear fence rail. Then set the fence on the front rail.


    Rip Fence Adjustment

    The 10-340f ence has three adjustments to ensure proper performance:

    Adjusting Fence 90 Degrees to Table: Loosen slightly the two hex head screws which hold the fence rail to the fence body. Raise or lower the four micro-adjusting screws located on the fence body accordingly.

    Correcting for Blade Drift: Loosen the two hex head screws which hold the fence rail to the fence body. Pivot the fence rail toward or away from the blade to compensate for drift.

    To Adjust the Rip Fence Guide Scale: Slide the rip fence against the blade along the rail and loosen the indicator screw. Then move the scale sideways and align the zero on the scale with the line on the magnifying window. Retighten the indicator screw when the adjustment is correct.

    Note: If the guide scale still cannot be adjusted after making this correction, it is possible that the blade is not center to the table. Please refer to Centering the Table to the Blade section of your owner's manual.


    Using the Resaw Bar

    For re-sawing, attach the 3/8" x 3" post to the slot on the fence. Position the re-saw bar so that it is aligned with the front of the blade. The re-saw bar helps to correct any blade wandering during re-sawing operations.


    Also, I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
