Not hard. Loosen the stop collar on the rod under the table. Move the table to the desire position with the left lever and measure from the end of the bit to the front table ledge that the piece will rest against. Once you have the distance you want move the stop collar into position and tighten screw.
@@davidpape9726 I think you may be talking about the mortiser? I’m asking about the blade height with the dado stack. I’ve heard x31’s can be hard to get precise blade height adjustments.
@@ocpbmuse Sorry, mind is somewhere else. I have a speed nut and threaded rod installed on the lever which makes fine adjustment easy. Just push in the button on the speed nut for coarse adjustment and then turn the crank ( I installed a wheel instead of the crank) for fine adjustment. A member of the roblandx31@groups.io had a batch of the fine adjustment systems made last year. I know some more people are interrested in some but not sure if another run is in the making or not. I would be easy enough to get the drawings and get your own made. Now putting a dhe US version has a long bolt that it is used. You essentially have to set up the dado blade to the thickness and hold it together with a clamp, insert into the saw and then install the bolt through it. It is tricky at first but you get used to it. Although a full thickness dado st is hard to clear the dust shield in the saw.
How hard is it to setup the depth of that dado on the x31?
