Title:	Autoflow Saw Adjustable Backfence Installation

Overview

The original backfences on the Autoflow Saw are of a fixed design.

There are secondary issues with certain window profiles being pushed over the top of the current rollers and profile with V-notches not being supported correctly.

Solution

The backfences have been redesigned with a new multi-axis adjustment system that allows easier adjustment and provides a more secure setting of the backfences.

The backfence rollers have also been increased in height to accommodate more profile styles and the roller spacing increased.

Step		Pic
1	Make perpendicular to saw tables using rear M8 adjusting screws (3 and 4).
2	Set the height above saw tables with the 2x M6 grubscrews (1) on the top of the roller mount (Slightly loosen the front M8 adjustment screws first).
3	Make parallel to the X-axis using by loosening the front M8 adjusting screws (2) and then pushing the convex infill plate to the required position. Re-tighten the screws. Ensure both backfence sets are in-line with the push/eject backfence using the rear jacking screws (3) and (4) ...The rear M8 adjusting screws (3) will need loosening and then re-tightening to allow the full range of adjustment
4	Double Check that the backfences are still perpendicular to the saw tables. (as in Step 1)
5	Aim the blowers so that they push any profile offcuts into the waste chute.

Software Setup

2.         Check that there are no deep Y notches on narrow profile.
