## Description

PALS Precision Alignment and Locking System for Contractor Style Table Saw Alignment with 5/16 Inch Stud - Table Saw Accessories - desertcart.com

Review: Made it easy to align the blade with miter gauge slot in contractor table saw - PALS Precision Alignment and Locking System for Contractor Style Table Saw Alignment I never had any luck aligning the blade and fence to the miter slot of my old Craftsman table saw. Banging on the trunnions with a mallet was a very imprecise process that required more luck than skill to align the blade parallel to the miter slot. Several years ago I replaced my trusty Craftsman saw with a Delta 36-441 contractor saw. I used that saw for years, but recently realized that I needed to re-align the blade and fence to the miter slot. I looked for solutions on YouTube and found a great video by Stumpy Nubs that provided an excellent tutorial on how to do the alignment on both cabinet and contractor saws. Stumpy recommended using these alignment clips with contractor saws that don't have adjustment screws to facilitate the process. They worked a treat. I recommend that you first watch Stumpy's video and then watch the video that appears on the desertcart page for this product. They were both a big help for me. Here are two tips for using the clips. - The non-nylok nuts included with the kit require a 12mm wrench. I replaced them with SAE 1/2" nuts. - You may find that you have to bind the standard nut and the nylok nut together on each threaded stud so you can tighten or loosen the studs that you install on the underside of your table's top. I needed to do that because my moderate-strength Locktite was not holding the stud tight in the tablesaw top even after letting it set for a day. . A thin 1/2" open end wrench is very handy when working with the two nuts on the studs. - Pay attention to Stumpy's advice about loosening the two trunnion nuts in the front of your saw. One should be finger-tight and the other one should be slightly tighter so as to provide some friction when shifting the trunnions with the clips in this kit - Pay attention to the advice in the desertcart video about slowly alternating the tightening of the four trunnion nuts after you have the blade aligned with the miter slot.
Review: It works! - This package fit my old Delta table saw. Installation was fairly simple and it worked great for reducing the back and forth normally required for blade alignment. So nice to be able to turn a screw to tweak the alignment rather than the old "hit it with a mallet and hope for the best" approach. This type of setup should come standard on all table saws. Just happy I found this.

## Features

- Contractor table saw misalignment is common on a lot of saws. However, it is also one of the easiest issues to fix at a relatively low cost to do so. PALS allow you to make fine adjustments to the contractor saws rear trunnions, giving you the central to turn you saw into a perfectly aligned, precision cutting machine.
- If you own a contractor style table saw (your table saw motor hanging out the back of the saw denotes a contractor style saw), you may have noticed that the saw may not be properly aligned. Meaning, the saw blade is not parallel with the miter slot on our table saw top. A poorly aligned table saw is not only frustrating to use, but also is dangerous to operate.
- The smartly made but simple to install PALS (Precision Alignment and Locking System) offer the perfect solution to getting your contractor table saw properly aligned without all the headaches. For years, the accepted technique for aligning contractor table saws was normally accomplished with a hammer and a piece of wood along with a bit of brute force. Not something we should be doing to our woodworking investment.
- The main component of the system are the “L” brackets with micro-adjusting screws. We use to these to make the necessary adjustments. The end result of Precision Alignment & Locking System (PALS) installation can be a perfectly aligned saw in less than 15 minutes, and the rear trunnion will be “locked in position” to prevent the saw from coming out of alignment again.
- PALS are designed for most saws where the motor hangs out the rear. Installing them on “hybrid” saws may prove difficult, as access to the rear housing (trunnion) may be very limited. PALS are available in 3 stud sizes, which will fit most saws with 5/16”, 3/8”, or 8MM bolts that hold the rear trunnion in position. Before ordering, please measure the bolt that holds your rear trunnions in place. If it does not match any of the three size mentioned here, the PALS will not work with your saw.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the pals system compatible with the sawstop contractor saw?**
A: I have an older Powermatic.  On my saw the blade mechanism is held to the underside of the table with four bolts.  These four bolts would not hold the blade mechanism in place.  It would vibrate out of position and get out of alignment.  The alignment kit now holds it in place.  I have no experience with a sawtop contractor saw, but if it has four bolts holding the blade mechanism, I suspect it would work.  Good luck

**Q: Will this work with a delta 36-725?**
A: I’m do not know.  The kit worked great with my older Powermatic 16A

**Q: Will this work on a 113. Series craftsmans contractors saw?**
A: I don't know.  My saw is a Powermatic.  If the bolts that hold the blade adjustment in place go up into the saw platform, this kit should work.

**Q: does it fit for a Craftsman 315.272340 ? I've been trying to contact them directly and through other vendors, not answer, nothing.**
A: I had a crafatmen i used it on. Worked very well. Dont think the model matters. It's just adding adjustment to existing screws..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For contractor's saw owners -- don't omit this
*by L***O on January 27, 2026*

This is simply too good an idea. The 'official' method of adjusting the trunion position, of loosening the 2 rear cap screws, and then banging the trunion with a mallet and block of wood was nearly impossible because there was always a tendency for the trunion to rebound and spring back after being struck, as well as the changes that would happen as you attempt to re-tighten the screws. Changing to studs and nuts with flat washers would have been a significant upgrade to that. But to be able to dial in the exact position incrementally, and lock that position in with horizontal screw pressure from both sides -- takes this to a new level. I was easily able to adjust to the miter slot within .0005 using a dial gauge. The bad news, if there is any, is that you'll have to make or buy all new zero clearance inserts for the new blade position. Use the stock insert for a week or two and re-check before making the new inserts ...
