Modifying Support Bearing Shaft
On some machines, when using wide blades
with the bearing or ceramic guides, the included
support bearing shaft might be too long to adjust
properly. If this is the case, the support bearing
shaft may be shortened to allow proper adjustment. If the shaft touches the support block when
the support bearing is adjusted properly, or if the
support block prevents proper adjustment, the
shaft should be shortened (see Figure 13).
