Hi Folks , feel free to direct me to a thread if one exists.
I have a 1982 lt30 .It was the first one in the maritime provinces. whoopwhoop. Anyway I can't seem to find the book and its in dire need of a alignment. Do I loosen off the guide rollers so they dont touch the blade at all and then align the blade to the bed +1/16 on the outer end. After that I forget how to adjust the guides.Does the front of the blade point up or down a 16th. and how much down pressure are the guides supposed to have? Any help is appreciated
I have never pretended to be anything I'm not, except sober, I've pretended to be sober a few times

If you get ahold of Wood-Mizer and give them your  machine's serial number they will send you a link to download a free copy of the manual. In the meantime I'm sure someone will soon  post detailed answers to your questions.

Hello,
  82 would be a early mill. Adjustments would be the same as today. There are times you can not get the 1/4" deflection on the blade so you do the best you can on the early mills. This would have a lower roller and a top roller. I remove the lower roller on these early mills. Lower blade guide roller not needed.
Manual is still available and is not very expensive.
