6. Repeat this procedure with the 45° stop. You’ll need a known 45° angle, such as a Belt Platen speed square or the head of a combination square to check accuracy. The belt platen should be adjusted out far enough so it is flush with, or slightly higher than the upper roller. The rollers are slightly crowned, that is they are higher in the center than at the edges. This crowning helps the belt to stay centralized on the rollers. The adjustment of the platen to the roller should be done at the h
