WHEN MOUNTING THE UNIT, WE
STRONGLY ADVISE YOU GET THE
ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON
AS THE BANDSAW IS HEAVY.

Lift the saw on to the stand, secure using four long bolts, nuts
and washers (10). Insert the bolts through the pre-drilled holes
in each corner of the base and through the floor stand. Fit the
washers and nuts on the underside and tighten to secure the

1) Open the front covers fully, giving good access to the top
compartment of the saw and good visibility into the bottom
compartment, see page 14. For tracking the blade first adjust
all bearing guides so that they are well clear of the blade.
Check that the blade is sitting approximately in the middle
of the wheels, see fig 02.

Fig 02

3) Spin the top wheel again, check again. Continue until the
blade tracks in the centre of the tyres with no appreciable to
and fro movement. Tension the blade fully. A sideways push
on the blade should allow a maximum of 1 centimetre of
movement with moderate pressure on the blade, see fig 05.
Check the tracking again, adjust if necessary.

Fig 05

2) Apply some tension to the blade by turning the tensioning
wheel clockwise, spin the top wheel by hand and check that
the blade remains centrally on the tyre, see fig 03. If it does not,
adjust the tracking by turning the tracking control at the rear
of the head box, see fig 04. Viewed directly onto the tracking
control wheel, turning clockwise should cause the blade to
track to the rear of the tyre; anti-clockwise to the front, Note:

DO NOT make large adjustments otherwise you will over
correct yourself.

Sideways push on the

blade, max 1 centimetre

of movement

4) Check that the drive belt is tensioned correctly. If it is slack,
apply ‘take up’ pressure to the belt by adjusting the ‘Idler’ pulley,
using the knob at the side of the machine, see fig 06-07. Note

this applies only for model number AW2305B & AW2606B
bandsaw. To tension the drive belt on model AW1950B loosen

the motors clamping Hex bolt and press the assembly down.
While holding motor in place retighten the Hex bolt, see fig 08.

ASSEMBLY

CONNECT THE SAW TO THE
MAINS SUPPLY!

5) Stand clear and start the saw. Check that the saw is running

smoothly, (no thumps, bumps, knocking or excessive vibration)
and the blade appears to be tracking correctly (in one place).
You can check this by holding a marker, e.g. a pencil, close to
the back of the blade (approach from the back of the blade
only) and check that the gap remains constant.

If it doesn’t, adjust the tracking until it does, see fig 04.

Make very small adjustments and wait for the saw to react
before you adjust again, sometimes the reaction is not
instantaneous. Once you are satisfied that the tracking is
correct, switch the machine off and allow it to run to a stop.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1) Make sure you have read and fully understood the general
instructions and safety precautions that are printed in the
preceding pages of this manual.

2) Before connecting the machine to the supply; check the tool
for obvious signs of damage, paying particular attention to the
plug and the power cable. Rectify or have rectified any damage
you discover. Check that the blade you are using is the correct
one for the job in hand. Change the blade if necessary. Check
the blade is not damaged; is clean, sharp, tracks properly and is
correctly tensioned.

3) Set the upper blade guide to approximately 12mm (1/2”)
above the height of the work piece.

4) Check especially on site, that there are no foreign objects e.g.
old nails, screws, small stones etc embedded in the material you
are about to cut.

5) Check that all accessories, tools etc., that have been used
to set the machine up, are removed and set carefully aside or
stowed away correctly.

cut too quickly; the correct cutting speed, if one could be so
precise, would never see the blade pushed back against the
thrust bearing, the saw would cut and clear the saw line at the
rate the work piece was fed into it. If you notice that you require
more and more pressure to effect the cut, and the blade is in
continual contact with the thrust bearing, the chances are the
blade is becoming blunt. Check and change if necessary.

Do not let go of the work piece, if you have to change your grip,
make sure one hand is holding the material at all times.

9) If you are cutting long pieces of material think about sawing
cutouts (i.e. a saw cut from the edge of the material to the saw
line) along the saw line so that you can discard the off cuts as
you progress down the saw line.

10) Observe the old woodworkers’ adage of never allowing your
hand/fingers within one handbreadth of the blade.

USE THE SUPPLIED PUSH STICK
WHEN CUTTING SMALL PIECES.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN THE WORK AREA
AND KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN!

CONNECT A DUST EXTRACTION
MACHINE TO THE SAW.

Note: For the AC1950B we recommend a vacuum style extractor,
such as the AC50E, code 105251. For the AC2305B and AC2606B
we recommend a 1-1 ½ hp high volume extractor, such as the
AC 82E, code 105184.

6) Ensure the machine is switched off. Plug the power cable
into a correctly rated switched socket outlet. If extension leads
are being used, check these for damage, do not use if damaged;
if you are working outside, check that any extension cables in
use are rated for outside work. Switch on. Allow the saw to run
up to speed.

7) Make sure that the material you are about to cut is within the
machine is capacity, and the cut you are about to make is within
the blades’ capabilities, e.g. do not try to cut a 1” radius curve
using a 5/8” blade.

8) Make sure the blade is not in contact with the material when
you start the saw. Start the cutting operation. Do not try to

11) If you have to cut very small pieces of material, arrange
or manufacture some form of ‘shoe’ to carry the timber. If the
work piece is exceptionally small, find something to use as a
sacrificial carrier and mount the work piece on it with double
sided tape, or similar.

12) Remember to check the blade tension after a new blade
has been ‘working’ for 30-60 mins. The blade will ‘stretch’ slightly
when new.

13) Do not release the tension on the saw blade when work is
complete. The blades and the main saw frame do not respond
kindly to constant changes in stress and tension. Only release
the tension to change the blade or if the blade is to be removed
because the machine is to be ‘mothballed’ for a lengthy time
period. The blade in tension over a long period of non-use will
cause the tyres to develop ‘flat’ spot.

WARNING! IF THE SAW JAMS!
SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY.

14) Open the saw cut, either by pulling apart or driving a wedge
in close to the back of the blade. Try to wriggle the blade free of
the saw. If this is not possible; check that the saw is free in the
cut, start the saw, allow it to run up to speed and ‘cut out’ as
quickly as possible. The removal of the ‘off cut’ may well prevent
the saw jamming again if you resume the original cut).

24

DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM
THE MAINS SUPPLY!

1) Put the table back to the level position if it has been tilted.
Open up all blade guides so that they are clear of the blade
and open the wheel doors. Set the upper blade guide assembly
approximately midway in the throat so the top of the blade
guide is level with the centre of the top drive wheel, see fig 71.
Remove the table insert.

2) Remove the table stabilising bolt, slacken the blade tension
by turning the blade tensioning wheel anti-clockwise, until the
blade can be easily slipped off the wheels, see fig 72.

3) Remove the upper and lower blade guide guards and place
safely aside, see fig 73-74. Remove the blade carefully, “wiggling”
it clear of the upper blade guard and out through the slot in
the table, 75.

Fig 73-74-75

4) This is a good time to clean out the interior of the machine;

remove the impacted ‘crud’ from the tyres, apply a little light oil
to the screw threads of the blade and drive belt tensioners and
the tracking control. The pivots and the slides of the top wheel
mounting assembly and the captive stub axle of the drive belt
tensioner in its slot could likewise be lightly oiled, see fig 76­77-78.

5) If you are fitting a new blade, it will have been supplied to
you “folded”, bound together in this configuration with tape or
tie wrap.

WARNING! BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN
YOU “UNFOLD” THE BLADE; IT TENDS TO
‘SPRING’ OPEN, BLADE AND TEETH GOING
EVERYWHERE.

MAKE SURE THE BLADE
TEETH ARE POINTING DOWN!

6) Also check that the blade did not “unfold” inside out. i.e.
looking at the right side front of the loop, the teeth should be
on the front of the blade and pointing down. If you can’t arrive
at this view, turn the blade inside out from its current position
and look again.

7) Open up all blade guides so that they are clear of the blade.
Hold the blade approximately midway on either side of the
loop and feed it into the table slot. When you get to the table
insert cut out void, work the left side of the loop into the slot in
the guard in the neck of the main saw frame. “Wriggle” the right
hand side of the blade through the slot in the upper blade
guide assembly. Ease the blade over the wheels and locate the
blade in the lower/upper blade guides, see fig 79-80.

8) Apply some tension to the blade. Turn the top wheel by
hand, to ensure the blade will not skip off the wheels and the
blade is travelling in the blade guides. Apply a little more
tension and check by once again spinning the upper saw wheel
by hand, see fig 81. When you are sure that the blade is “ON”
and stable, re-fit the table stabilising bolt and re-fit the table
insert, see fig 82. Now adjust the blade guides as described in
‘Setting up the saw’on page 21.

BANDSAW BLADE INFORMATION

About Axcaliber Bandsaw Blades

Axcaliber bandsaw blades are manufactured at Axminster using
advanced CNC machining, high precision digital measuring
equipment and specialised heat treatment facilities. Detailed
quality checks are performed at each stage of manufacture
using the most modern inspection equipment. The result is a
blade which consistently cuts straighter, has harder, longer-life
teeth and which gives a superior finish to the work. The final
step in the manufacturing process is one of the most important;
the weld. We have invested heavily in this area through the
purchase of precision welding and grinding equipment and are,
as a result, one of the few companies worldwide able to offer a
fully guaranteed weld. Blades are cut accurately to length then,
using an IDEAL bandsaw blade welder, a high voltage current is
passed through the blade to achieve a precision butt weld.
The weld is annealed to remove any brittleness and danger of
fatigue and then hand dressed to produce a perfectly smooth
joint.

Choosing the Right Tooth Pitch (tpi)

3 tpi (skip form)

Used for deep cutting especially rip cuts, this blade will leave a
rough sawn finish although slow feed rate and high tension will
improve the finish of the cut.

of cut should not exceed 50mm. When cutting metals reduce
the speed as much as possible especially when cutting ferrous
metals or cast iron.

14 tpi (regular)

A very clean cutting blade for plywood, plastics and MDF
although too fine for natural timbers unless they are very thin
sections (sub 25mm thick). The 14tpi blade is very good to use
on slow speeds when cutting non-ferrous metals. A slow feed
speed should be used at all times with a blade tooth pitch this
fine.

Blade Width

Always use the widest saw blade possible; it is stronger and will
withstand greater feed pressures without flexing. Consult your
machine manual for the maximum and minimum blade widths
that it will accept. The minimum radius of curve for each blade
width is as follows:

4 tpi (skip form)

Good for general-purpose use with a degree of cutting across
the grain and with the grain, a reasonable finish can be
achieved with slower feed rates and good tension.

6 tpi (skip form)

The ideal general purpose blade suitable for cross cutting up
to 150mm and ripping in sections up to 50mm thick although
thicker sections can be cut using slow feed rates. This tooth
form will give a clean finish and is very well suited to natural
timbers.

10 tpi (regular)

Good for cutting plywood and MDF as well as non-ferrous
metals and plastics. The finish is good when cutting natural
timbers but the feed rate should be slow and maximum depth

Blade width Minimum radius

13mm (1/2”) 63mm (2 1/2”)

10mm (3/8”) 27mm (1 1/16”)

6mm (1/4”) 19mm (3/4”)

5mm (3/16”) 13mm (1/2”)

3mm (1/8”) 10mm (3/8”)

Blade Length

This is determined by your machine model. A list of the most
popular machines and their blade lengths is found in the
catalogue.

Blade Tooth Form

Standard Blade Tooth Forms:

4-6tpi

We supply bandsaw blades
with one of two tooth forms,

6-10tpi

skip or regular:

10-tpi

The skip tooth is provided on
coarse tooth blades, those
with 3, 4 and 6 teeth per inch;
it has a wide shallow gullet
with plenty of space for waste
to collect. Please note that
the quality of the cut can be
adversely affected by sawdust

packing between the teeth.
The regular, or triangular, tooth
form is provided on blades
with 10 or more teeth per inch
where, because of the reduced
material removal, there is less
need for waste storage.

BANDSAW TROUBLE SHOOTING

Trouble Shooting

Bandsaws are relatively simple machines and with all
machinery regular servicing (preventative maintenance) is
essential to get the best from your saw.

• This is the most common question
that you will get from bandsaw
users. Usually the answer lies within

‘My bandsaw

won’t cut
Straight”

“My bandasw

slows down

when cutting”

the blade; poor quality blades with
uneven set, the blade is blunt or
damaged often only on one side, the
tooth count is far too high for the
material being cut -remember 2 teeth
minimum and 10 teeth maximum in
the work piece.

• The fence is out of line with the blade.

• Check drive belt is tensioned
correctly.

• If cutting hard or wet material slow
your feed rate down.

• Check blade is sharp and not too fine.

• Make sure that when curve cutting a
narrow blade is used- see unit 5 blade
and cutter types.

• Clean machine wheels.

• Check blade is running correctly on

• Check blade weld – is it in line?

• Check machine is not on an uneven
floor.

• No , most woodcutting bandsaws run
far too fast to cut steel even if a metal

UJK BANDSAW BUDDY

Code: 101807

INTRODUCTION KEY FEATURES

• Bandsaw Buddy is a unique bandsaw blade aligning tool.
Bandsaw Buddy allows you to check the alignment of the
bandsaw blade to the face of the fence. Most other checks
only require the use of a combination or engineer’s square.
Truing the fence to the blade is tricky. Bandsaw Buddy has
two rare earth magnets which hold it firmly on the blade. At
250mm long it is easy to spot any discrepancy and then make
necessary adjustments. The magnets will keep it safely stored
on the bandsaw’s frame when not in use.

• A scale on the tip helps set the bandsaw fence for cutting
veneers or thin boards. Holes along the Buddy’s length at

12.5mm intervals allow you to draw arcs or circles in 25mm
steps from 75mm to 400mm, a useful feature for marking
curves or when cutting bowl blanks. Accurately machined
from anodised aluminium, it also makes a handy straight edge.
