Easier Main Table Alignment

[edma194]

Something I mentioned over on the My Growth Rings website about table alignment and bad backs. Even if you have a good back it's annoying to adjust the main table bolts to get it aligned parallel to a sanding disk or saw blade or other method while in the horizontal (table saw) mode because the bolts have to be tightened from underneath while you hold it in position, or you have to tilt it then check that it's still where you want it after tightening the bolts.

Spending a couple of days in pain after the last alignment I did gave me time to think about this and I realized the main table alignment can be done in vertical (drill press) mode. You can reach the bolts underneath while holding the table in place and also adjust the tilt to 0° while standing up. I can't believe in the past 75 years nobody else ever thought of this. If somebody else did then you owe me an apology for keeping quiet about it.
