WHEEL ALIGNMENT
V-16 & V / VH-24
Note: This alignment is factory set, but may need adjustment when replacing blade.
Two wheel machines have a bottom wheel that drives the saw blade and a top idle wheel that is
adjustable to facilitate blade tracking. The edges of the wheels are fitted with a composite material to
accommodate the tooth set.
The idle wheel may be adjusted by loosening the knurled locking collar and turning the black knob in
the center of the wheel. Turning the knob in a clockwise manner runs the blade toward the back edge
of the band wheel. A counter clockwise movement will move the blade toward the front edge of the
band wheel.
Correct tracking takes place when the blade runs approximately in the center of the wheel.
NOTE: The main casting with adjusting screws have been preset at the factory during assembly
utilizing special fixtures. No adjustment should be attempted.
V-40 / VH-40
Machines with two idle wheels in addition to the drive wheel possess tracking control on each wheel.
The top band wheel is set at the factory and no future adjustment should be necessary. *All
adjustments should be performed utilizing the third band wheel. If difficulty is encountered in tracking,
the top wheel may be reset as if the machine were to be used in the two wheel mode.
NOTE: With the V / VH-40 machines, it is possible to
have the blade appear to be tracking properly but in
actuality the two band wheels can be adjusted so they
form an intersecting planes, rather than a common plane
or parallel plane. This will result in excessive wear on
the crown on the band wheel by the blade teeth, and
severe cases, the composite material will shred or
actually come loose from the band wheel.
*If the blade does not track properly against the back up
guide bearing, there is a small amount of lateral
adjustment in the top wheel. (See figure 5) Loosen the
set screws and slide the yoke to make the blade line up
properly with the backup guide bearing.
BLADE INSTALLATION
Blade selection is based on the many factors and complexity of the work to be cut.
The blade placed on the band wheels with teeth facing toward the operator and down toward the top of
the worktable. Tension the blade to remove slack. Rotate the wheels by hand to ensure tracking is
correct, and blade will not “pop” off when machine is started. If tracking is incorrect, adjust before
starting machine.

7/21/08
BLADE TENSIONING
The blade indicator is located inside the upper wheel compartment, on the lower left side of the idle
wheel. (See machine features graphic) The indicator has an arrow mounted on the horizontal plane,
with a corresponding scale for blade tensioning. The scale has two legends, one reads inches from 0 1”, and the second reads mm 0 - 25 mm. This allows tensioning either standard or metric blade widths.
With out tension on the blade, the indicator should read zero. As tension is applied to the blade the
needle will move accordingly, and should be tightened until the correct blade width is indicated on this
gauge. Example: Installing a 1/2” blade on the machine, tighten the hand wheel until the indicator’s
arrow is pointing to the 1/2” mark on the scale. Before starting the machine check the blades tracking
by hand as described in an earlier section.
This indicator has been calibrated at the factory. If recalibration is ever needed follow the steps below.
Using a blade tension gauge, (many times the
company that you purchase blades from can furnish
you with this gauge) tension the blade to the proper
PSI. The PSI will very from blade types (carbon, Bimetal) and blade widths. This information can be
obtained from your blade supplier. When proper
tension is achieved, loosen the setscrew in the collar
on the tensioning wheel shaft. (See figure 6) Adjust
this collar up or down on the shaft until the arrow is
pointing to the corresponding blade width. on the
indicator, Tighten setscrew.
Note: It is better to over tension the blade than to
run it under tensioned.
BLADE GUIDES
Your machine has come equipped with a set of interchangeable “V” type blade guides. A set of
guides consist of two each left hand and two each right hand guide inserts. The standard
guides furnished are 10 / 12 mm guides. Other sizes are optional, and can be purchased
separately, or as a five piece set. The five-piece set includes 3 / 4 mm (1/8 - 1/4”) 6 / 8 mm
(5/16 - 3/8”) 10 / 12 mm (standard set 1/2 - 5/8”) 16 / 20 mm (3/4”) and 25 / 32 mm (1”)
blade width will dictate the size blade guide to be used.
The
Note: Never use blades larger than the rated capacity of the machine. Never use blades
narrower than guide insert. Damage will occur to guide insert and blade. Blade insert must
correspond with blade width.
Manual V-16, V-24, VH-24, V-40 & VH-40
10 – Section I
7/21/08
An analysis of the work to be performed should be made and the proper
blade selected. The blade should always be inspected before installing
on the machine. Things to look for should be the smoothness on the
sides and back edge of the weld, look for any missing teeth, or
impacted chips. The blade guides may now be selected and inserted
into both the upper and lower guide holders. Proper adjustment of these
guides takes place when they form a complete “V” shape (see graphic
below) and support the blade equally on each side. A couple of
thousands on each side of the blade will provide the running clearance
and support for contour sawing.
Note: Blade guides should be cleaned of chips each blade
change or more frequently if required.
BLADE GUIDES
The back end roller that supports the back of the blade on each guide holder contains a hardened cap
over a set of ball bearings. This should be checked periodically for free movement so it is allowed to
rotate freely as the back of the blade comes in contact with the face of this roller. Noticeable friction in
this assembly indicates it should be replaced. This can be done by removing the right hand guide
insert, moving the left hand guide up away from the bearing face. Loosen the setscrew on the bottom
of the guide holder and sliding the old bearing and shaft out and a new one in. Tighten the setscrew
and re-adjust the guides. See graphic below.
The “V” type solid blade guides and holder assemblies as furnished standard with the machine are
recommended for the majority of cutting applications. This is true for the cutting of materials at blade
speeds in the low range.
If the machine is operated in the high range, it should be operated with the high-speed roller guides,
supplied with this machine, installed.
NOTE: If machine is operated in excess of above, abnormal blade wear and breakage may
occur, due to the increased heat developed with the standard solid guides.
Manual V-16, V-24, VH-24, V-40 & VH-40
11 – Section I
HIGH SPEED ROLLER GUIDES
Applications and Advantages:
Friction and abrasive cutting, filing operations, aluminum and woodcutting.
These guides eliminate having to change inserts when changing to blades of different widths.
Requirements for Installation:
These roller guides must be installed using a new 1/2” blade width band for proper alignment.
The 1/2” band should be tracked within the approximate center line of the band wheels.
Note: Be certain band wheels are clean are free of any foreign material build up before
proceeding.
Tools / Hardware Required:
Drill - 7/16”
Drill and tap for ¼” 20 set screw
¼” 20 set screw 1/4 - 3/8” long
Upper Guide Installation:
1: Remove the existing guide holder assembly (part A)
via the 2 countersunk socket head cap screws located
on the backside of the moveable guide arm post. (Part
B) Store the original guide holder assembly for future
use. Remove the lower (red painted, part C) hold
down foot located at the bottom of the movable guide
arm post. (See graphic below)
7/21/08
2: With a 7/16” drill the bottom guide-mounting hole
out. Drill from the front of the guidepost, to a depth of
approx. 1”. The hole should be just deep enough to
stop short of breaking through the countersunk portion
of the hole.
3: Drill and tap a hole for a ¼” 20 set screw approx. ½ - ¾” back from the front edge of the guidepost.
This hole must be centered (intersect) with the 7/16” hole. As shown above.
Manual V-16, V-24, VH-24, V-40 & VH-40
12 – Section I
7/21/08
4: Insert the mounting stud (B) into the guide casting (A). Keep the stud
flush with the front of the casting. Keeping the mounting stud flat area
on the bottom, tighten securely the set screw (C) on the bottom of the
casting.
5: Insert this stud and guide assembly into the 7/16” hole in the guidepost. Make sure upper roller guide
is plumb with the guidepost. Lightly tighten set screw you installed in the guidepost.
Lower Guide Installation:
6: Remove lower blade guide. Replace this guide with the high
speed guide containing the
mounting bracket with slotted hole, reusing existing nuts /
bolts.
Position assembly upward along the slotted bracket, so that
the guide body casting has enough clearance to allow the
work table to be tilted for angle cutting. Tighten the socket
head cap screw or nut.
Note: Make certain that if a socket head cap screw is
used, it does not bottom out into the main saw casting
item 1. Shorten the cap screw if necessary
7: Alignment of Upper / Lower Guides:
With blade properly tensioned and tracked, position the
back-up roller by loosening the set
screw (A) on the front of the guide casting, and move the
knurled knob left to right until blade is in alignment with
the groove in the bearing. Rotate the knurled knob until
you have approx. 1/16” clearance from the back of the
blade to the front edge of the back-up roller. Tighten set
screw (A).
The two roller bearings below the back up bearing can
be adjusted in and out, left and right. Loosen the set screws that retain the bearing stems into the
casting. Using the single bearing assembly, position these bearings approx. 1/16” behind the deepest
gullet of the blade.
The single bearing assembly along with the adjustably of the upper guide roller will service blades from
¼” to ¾” The double roller set is used only when blade of ½” to 1” are used. Note: The adjustments
are the same for both single and double bearing assemblies.
Rotate eccentric bearing stems until both blade and the back up bearing groove are parallel with each
other. Set screws should be just snug up until actual alignment is confirmed.
Manual V-16, V-24, VH-24, V-40 & VH-40
13 – Section I
7/21/08
Repeat this process for the lower guide assembly.
Note: Upper guide stud may be adjusted in or out in the guide post to allow proper clearance for
blade, and for alignment with lower guide.
Align backup bearing as previously described for upper guide. Tighten both set screws when alignment
is confirmed.
Re-adjust side rollers. (Graphic in previous column) Set the side clearance distance between rollers
and saw blade, leaving about a .004 gap.
Note: If the adjustment setting for side clearance
between roller and blade is not enough, the side
rollers will cause the blade to miss-track or be
pushed outward from the guide rollers.
Note: If blade alignment from band wheel to
roller guides is necessary, do so by rotating
eccentric shafts on the roller guides. Then
lock them in place with the set screws.
After all adjustments have been made, tighten
all components tight.
BAND SPEED SELECTION
The saw blade is driven by a single speed transmission on the 16” machine and dual speed
transmissions on the 24” and 40” machines. The shifting lever on the larger models has three positions.
(Figure 1) The center being the neutral position, for set up. With the machine off, move the shift lever to
the left for low speed range (50-500 FPM) and to the right for the high speed range. (500-5000 FPM)
To shift the machine the shift lever handle must be pulled outward and then shifted left or right. (Figure
2)
WARNING: NEVER SHIFT WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. THIS WILL CAUSE EXTENSIVE
DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE TRAIN.
Manual V-16, V-24, VH-24, V-40 & VH-40
14 – Section I
7/21/08
Note: Occasionally the drive wheel may have to
be jogged by hand to engage the transmission
lever.
The variable speed is achieved through the use of a
variable regulator. (Figure 3) This is turned clockwise
or counter- clockwise to obtain an increase or
decrease in blade speed, in either range. Adjust until
desired speed is reached as read on the blade
speed gauge.
WARNING: DO NOT ADJUST THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (FIGURE 3) SPEED UNLESS
THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE SEALS TO FAIL, AND
RENDER THE UNIT INOPERABLE.
SAW BLADE SELECTION
There are numerous types of saw blades available depending upon the application. Tooth pitch, form,
tooth set, and blade composite make up all contribute to the desired cut. Blade speeds and feed are
also a factors. The complexity of the subject cannot be properly detailed in this manual, and it is
suggested that you contact your local blade supplier for more detailed information and
recommendations for the application.
Below is a chart that can be used as a guide line for blade selection and a percentage chart for
determining the speeds and feeds for material after determining the Rockwell hardness.
The chart below shows material shape and sizes of square solid, round solid, and tubing, channel, and
angle. The size range from 0” - 12” is diameter; the column under the shapes gives recommendation of
a vari-tooth blade. Example: 4” round solid, will require a 3/4 pitch blade.
Note: For structurals and tubing, determine the average width of cut.
Blades must be broke in properly, for longest life and best cut finish. Break in cutting should be
done at 1/3-1/2 normal cutting rate, for the 50-100 square inches.
NOTE: Below are the three most commonly used types of blades. The Bi-Metal blade is the most durable, for standard types of cutting
applications. The teeth are made of high speed steel and welded to a backing material. The cutting edge contains 8% cobolt with a Rc of 64
to 68. (These blades are more difficult to weld than standard carbon.) The carbon blade is the least expensive with reduced blade life. The
back of the blade is made of hardened material with a Rc of 31 to 37 and tooth hardness of 64 to 66. The carbide tipped blade has carbide
inserts welded to the blade teeth with a Ra rating of 92

SPEEDS AND FEEDS
As important as proper blade selection, is proper feeds and speeds for the different materials to be cut.
It is impossible to determine absolute rates for each material and machine, below is a chart that will
give you staring points for most applications; keeping in mind these are only approximations.
The left hand column, labeled Material tells you the family, the column Alloy lists the types that are
within that family of material. The top six columns give material dimensions. Below these column are
listed the recommended FPM and SIPM for that material type. Example: Carbon steel with a alloy make
up classified as 1030, with a diameter of 4” will be cut at 329 FPM and SIPM of 14, shown as fpm 329
sipm 14.

HYDRAULIC FEED TABLE
Machines equipped with a hydraulic feed table (VH models) have a pumping unit in the base. The
system has an adjustable relief valve, which is factory preset at 400 p.s.i. The systems oil level must be
checked periodically to assure the oil levels are maintained at the full level of the sight glass.
The feed table regulator will provide a smooth movement to the table. If the feed appears to be
intermittent it is probably due to air in the system. This is normally exhausted by running the table in
and out a few times.
To move the feed table, push the “hydraulic start” button on the control panel then, rotate the handle on
the front of the table to the right to start or increase the table feed rate. To move the table back to the
starting position rotate the handle to the left, there is only one speed for the reverse movement (see
diagram below).
WELDING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Note: Always wear eye protection when
using this welder or grinder!
Your Dake vertical band saw is equipped
with a “resistance-type” butt welder. The
two clamp jaws of the welder hold the
blade ends together. When the welding
start knob is turned fully clockwise past the
zero setting, electric current flows through
the blade ends creating enough heat to
soften and join them.
Note: This welder is suitable to weld
Metal blades 3 x 0.5 - 25 x 0.8mm
bi-metal blades 6 x 0.9 - 25 x 0.9mm

This welder should not be used for welding 2% and 3% tungsten-alloyed metal cutting blades or HSS
blades.
The approximate valves for bi-metal blades are indicated in the matrix in the next column
.
Note: * The weld current step and upsetting pressure step have to be increased with some saw
manufactures. The saw blade has to be metallically clean and no tooth may enter into the welding
seam.
1. PREPARATION OF BLADE
Before welding the blade ends should be cleaned or rubbed with emery cloth on both sides of the blade
to a length of 1”, until they are metallically clean over the enter width.
Cut the blade ends accurately and at right angles. (See graphic below) Check
abutment against the stop for a cut at right angles. Proper welding can only
be achieved if the blade ends are cut with out a burr and at right angles. (Also
see trouble shooting section)
2. ADJUSTMENT
The initial jaw gap and upset force must be adjusted and
proportioned to the cross sectional area of the blade
being welded. A greater jaw gap will allow a wider or
thicker blade to reach proper welding temperature. A
greater upset pressure produces the same unit pressure
in welding a wider or thicker blade.
Set the welding current switch (1 figure 1), upsetting
pressure switch (2 figure 1) and the upsetting way switch
(3 figure 1) to the blade width to be welded. In view of
the wide range of material qualities and thickness scale
values are only guide values, which have been
calculated for commercial blades of 0.65 mm thick. Trial
welds should determine the correct settings for different steel qualities and thickness. Particularly thin
blades (0.4 mm) should be welded with a short upsetting way, high current and weak upsetting
pressure. Example: Blade width is 1/2”. Current switch is set to 1/2” (number 1) position. The upsetting
pressure switch is set to 1/2” (number 1) position. The upsetting way switch is set to the 1/2” position.
3. CLAMPING THE BLADE ENDS
Insert the blade ends in the clamping jaws so that the joist is exactly in the center of the jaws. To
protect the jaws the blades should be inserted so the teeth are aligned at the front stops. Only blades
without teeth should be aligned at the rear stops. Leave slack in the blade coil, the blade must be free
so it can move easily during welding.
4. WELDING
Manual V-16, V-24, VH-24, V-40 & VH-40
22 – Section I
7/21/08
Turn the upsetting switch (3 figure 1) past the position (5 figure 1) to welding (6 fig. 1) and lock it for
about 3 seconds until the welding is completed. The current is switched off automatically.
Sparks spray out during welding, therefore stand at the side of the machine.
WARNING: BLADE WILL BE HOT!
5. ANNEALING
When the blade is heated in the butt welding process, the steel at the point of the weld “air hardens”
and becomes brittle. The anneal on/off knob is used to anneal the weld by reheating it. This returns the
blade close to its original condition.
After welding loosen the pressure clamps (7 fig. 1) and set the jaws to the wide annealing position by
turning the upsetting pressure switch (2 fig. 1) counter clockwise. Re-clamp the blade so that the weld
is in the center between the jaws. Operate the annealing switch (8 fig.1) until the weld becomes dark
cherry red. This will take from 1 to 5 seconds depending on the blade width. Allow blade to cool until
the blade returns to a dark color. Repeat this process at least three times. Some brittle alloys require
more annealing than the standard carbon blades.
Note: It is difficult to weld and anneal bi-metal blades due to the make up of this type of blade. It
will take some practice to successfully achieve a suitable weld.
WARNING: BLADE WILL BE HOT!
After annealing bend test your weld:
6. RE-FINISHING THE WELD
Welding burr (flash) can be removed by finishing with a grinding wheel above the welder. Grind in a
longitudinal direction, other wise transverse fractures may occur. The proper finish of the blade after
grinding, a tempered steel-blue coloring.
Note: Do not over grind, into the blade facing. Remove any burr on the back edge of the blade
.
WELDER LAYOUT AND CONTROLS
7. WELDER MAINTENANCE
If the clamping areas of the jaws are dirty or deformed so they so not clamp
evenly, good welds cannot be made. Any dirt or metallic debris must be
removed from the jaws. The jaws should never be filed. It should only be
polished with a proper cleaning material and if absolutely necessary polished
with fine emery cloth held on a flat piece of bar stock. The uniformity of current
flow and contact pressure can be checked by putting the welder in the
annealing position and clamping a piece of blade stock with out a weld in the
jaws. When the annealing switch is turned to the heating position the blade
should heat uniformly over its entire width. (See fig. 2) If the heating is not
uniform the clamping devices should be checked for dirt or misalignment.

23 – Section I

8. POOR WELDS / TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the welded seam contains holes, the upsetting pressure should be increased, the welding current
reduced or both settings changed. We must emphasize once again that proper welds cannot be
made if the blade ends are not cut square, and properly cleaned. Welding of blades may take
practice, do not be discouraged if your welds are not perfect at first.
Avoid overlapping when welding thin blades. If welder does not give suitable weld, check in coming
voltage to the machine. If voltage is low, use next blade size setting. Example: 220 volt machine,
incoming voltage is 208 volt, to weld 1/2” blade use 5/8” settings.
If incoming voltage is high reverse this procedure.
If incoming voltage is low, the welder transformer has taps that can be set to a 10% increase or
decrease. SHOCK HAZARD! ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS.
ALWAYS CONTACT DAKE BEFORE REMOVING THE WELDER.
If the welder does not shut off, after the welding cycle, or will not start the welding cycle, a limit switch
adjustment is needed.
THE WELDER MUST BE REMOVED FOR THIS ADJUSTMENT. SHOCK HAZARD! ALWAYS
CONTACT DAKE BEFORE REMOVING THE WELDER OF MAKING INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS. A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN MUST DO THESE ADJUSTMENT.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
The maintenance of the machine is naturally based on the usage rather than a time element.
The following is a recommendation based-on-average usage, and adjustment to the frequency
can be made on an individual basis. See below graphic for locations.
• Chip Pan - clean - as required.
• Band wheel tires - remove embedded chips -
weekly.
• Blade guide assemblies - clean - weekly.
• Gear box - drain and refill - yearly
• Monitor Hydraulic Reservoir.
• Drain water from water trap on air regulator
weekly.
Note: If raising the guide post more than half way up
from the table, and guide post cranks up hard, the
upper blade guard must be removed. See figure A&B
Blade will still be contained in the upper position.
