Additional Safety for Bandsaws
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during
operation or if blade breakage occurs. Serious injury or death can also occur from getting
fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in moving parts if the machine is operated while the doors
are open. To reduce this risk, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the
hazards and warnings below.
HAND PLACEMENT. Placing hands or fingers
in line with blade during operation may result in
serious injury if hands slip or workpiece moves
unexpectedly. Do not position fingers or hands in
line with blade, and never reach under table while
blade is moving.
SMALL/NARROW WORKPIECES. If hands slip
during a cut while holding small workpieces with
fingers, serious personal injury could occur. Always
support/feed small or narrow workpieces with push
sticks, push blocks, jig, vise, clamping fixture.
BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade
is at full speed could cause blade to grab workpiece and pull hands into blade. Allow blade to
reach full speed before starting cut. DO NOT start
machine with workpiece contacting blade.
FEED RATE. To avoid risk of workpiece slipping
and causing operator injury, always feed stock
evenly and smoothly.
BLADE CONDITION. Dull blades require more
effort to perform cut, increasing risk of accidents.
Do not operate with dirt y, dull, cracked or badly
worn blades. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before each use. Always maintain proper
blade tension and tracking while operating.
CLEARING JAMS AND CUTOFFS. Always stop
bandsaw and disconnect power before clearing
scrap pieces that get stuck between blade and
table insert. Use brush or push stick, not hands,
to clean chips/cutoff scraps from table.
BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due to
blade contact, always allow blade to stop on its
own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade with your
hand or the workpiece.
GUARDS /COVERS. Blade guards and covers
protect operator from moving bandsaw blade. The
wheel covers protect operator from getting entangled with rotating wheels or other moving parts.
ON LY operate bandsaw with blade guard in proper
position and wheel covers completely closed.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that
could result in operator injury, make sure blade
teeth face down toward table and blade is properly tensioned and tracked before operating.
UPPER BLADE GUIDE SUPPORT. To reduce
exposure of operator to blade and provide maximum blade support while cutting, keep upper
blade guides adjusted to just clear workpiece.
CUTTING TECHNIQUES. To avoid blade getting
pulled off wheels or accidentally breaking and
striking operator, always turn bandsaw OFF and
wait for blade to come to a complete stop before
backing workpiece out of blade. DO NOT back
workpiece away from blade while bandsaw is running. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting,
especially when sawing small curves. This could
result in blade damage or breakage.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To maintain maximum
control and reduce risk of blade contact/breakage, always ensure adequate support of long/
large workpieces. Always keep workpiece flat and
firm against table/fence when cutting to avoid loss
of control. If necessary, use a jig or other workholding device.
WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is
intended for cutting natural and man-made wood
products, and laminate covered wood products.
This machine is NOT designed to cut metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
or equipment damage
not properly grounded
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this

Cleanup
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
Put on safety glasses.
1.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled. Only
work in a well-ventilated
area.
NOTICE
Avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake
parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous location first.
T23692—Orange Power Degreaser
A great product for removing the waxy shipping grease from the non-painted parts of the
machine during clean up.
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
3.
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint
scraper, scrape off as much as you can first,
then wipe off the rest with the rag.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
4.
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

Using Forklift & Wood Blocks
Serious injury could occur if you connect
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
1. Use a forklift to move the crate to a prepared
location, then remove the crate from the shipping pallet.
Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
2.
3. Carefully place the forklift forks under the
head. Insert a 1x4 block between the head
and the left fork, and a 2x4 block between the
head and right fork so the bandsaw is level,
as shown in Figure 18.

DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an
adequate dust collection system. This saw
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and longterm respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect a dust collection hose:

Adjustment
Overview
The bandsaw is one of the most versatile woodworking machines. However, it has multiple components that must be properly adjusted for the
best cutting results.
For practical and safety reasons, some adjustments and test operations must be performed
before performing other necessary adjustments.
Below is an overview of all the adjustments and
the order in which they should be performed:

Bandsaw wheels are either flat or crowned and
both shapes track differently. This bandsaw has
crowned wheels. As the wheels spin, a properly
tracking blade naturally tracks at the center of the
wheel (see Figure 37).
PROPER TRACKING
Blade Centered
on Wheel
Blade
Centered

Figure 37. Blade centered on crown of wheel.
Blade tracking is primarily affected by the tilt of
the upper wheel, known as “center tracking.”
However, the alignment of both wheels plays an
important part as well (see Aligning Wheels on
Page 71 for more details).
Wheel
Initial Blade Tracking
"Tracking" refers to how the blade rides on the
bandsaw wheels. Proper tracking is important
for maintaining bandsaw adjustments, achieving correct blade tension, and cutting accurately. Improper tracking reduces cutting accuracy,
causes excess vibrations, and places stress on
the blade and other bandsaw components. The
shape of the wheels and the orientation of the
wheels in relation to each other determine how
the blade tracks.
The wheels on this bandsaw were aligned at the
factory, so center tracking is the only adjustment
that needs to be performed when the saw is new.
Serious personal injury can
occur if the machine starts
while your hand is touching the bandsaw wheel during tracking adjustments.
Disconnect power from the
bandsaw before performing
blade tracking adjustments.

2
mately
⁄3 of the way up (refer to Adjusting
Blade Guides on Page 35 for detailed
instructions).
Note: When adjusting the blade tracking for
the test run in this procedure, the blade must
have approximately the same amount of tension as when under operating conditions.
After the test run is successfully completed,
you will be instructed on how to more accurately tension the blade for optimum results.
The wheels may have sharp edges, and the
blade teeth may extend beyond the edge,
creating a laceration hazard. Be careful
when turning the wheels by hand.
7. Rotate upper wheel by hand several times
and watch how blade rides on crown of
wheel. Refer to Figure 37 on Page27 for an
illustration of this concept.
— If the blade consistently rides in the center
of the upper wheel, it is tracking properly
and no adjustments are necessary; proceed to Step 9.

Tensioning Blade
A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts, maximizing blade life, and
making other bandsaw adjustments. However, a
properly tensioned blade will not compensate for
cutting problems caused by excessive feed rate,
hardness variations between workpieces, and
improper blade selection.
The Flutter Method
Using the flutter method, you intentionally loosen
the blade until it just passes the point of being
too loose (when it begins to flutter). Then you
gradually tighten the blade until proper tension is
reached.
To tension bandsaw blade using flutter
method:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Optimal cutting results for any type of workpiece
are achieved through a combination of correct
blade selection, proper blade tension, properly
adjusted blade guides and other bandsaw components, and using an appropriate feed rate.
Improper blade tension is unsafe, produces inaccurate and inconsistent results, and introduces
unnecessary wear on bandsaw components.
Over-tensioning the blade increases the chance
of the blade breaking or wheel misalignment.
Under-tensioned blades wander excessively while
cutting and will not track properly during operation.
The method used to tension the blade is often
a matter of preference. This manual describes
two methods: the flutter method and the deflection method. Either method will help you properly
tension the blade. Experience and personal preference will help you decide which method you
prefer.
Make sure the blade is properly center track-

The Deflection Method
The deflection method is much more subjective
than the flutter method. Each blade will deflect
differently and every user will determine what
"moderate pressure" means. The following are
general guidelines for tensioning the blade with
this method.
To tension bandsaw blade using deflection
method:
Fine Tune Tracking
During setup, the blade was tracked without the
machine connected to power (refer to Page 27).
In this procedure, the bandsaw is turned ON to
perform fine tuning of the tracking. Make small
changes with the blade tracking knob as you
monitor the effect on the blade tracking.

Adjusting Blade
Support Bearings
The support bearings are positioned behind the
blade near the blade guides and prevent the blade
from pushing backward during cutting operations.
Proper adjustment of the support bearings helps
you make accurate cuts and prevents the blade
teeth from coming in contact with the blade guides
while cutting. If this happens, the blade "tooth
set" can be ruined, which will greatly reduce the
blade's ability to make good cuts.
There are support bearings on the upper and
lower blade guide assemblies. Both adjust in the
same manner. The following instructions refer to
the upper support bearings.
Important: To ensure best results while cutting,
make sure the blade is tracking and tensioned
correctly before performing this procedure.
0.016" away from back of blade, as illustrated in Figure 47.
Note:The main purpose of this adjustment
is to prevent the blade from being pushed

will contact (and ruin) the "tooth set" of the
blade during cutting operations.

Adjusting Blade
Guides
The blade guides provide side-to-side support
to keep the blade straight while cutting. These
guides are adjustable in two ways—forward-andback and side-to-side.
To keep the blade straight while cutting, the blade
guides must be as close to the sides of the blade
without exerting any clamping pressure. This distance is typically about 0.004".
To prevent damage to the blade teeth as the blade
deflects back while cutting, the guides must be
behind the teeth gullets the same amount as the
support bearing is behind the blade, which is typically about 0.016" (see Figure 47 on the previous
page for an illustration of this relationship).

General Overview
The bandsaw is one of the most versatile wood
cutting tools in the shop. It is capable of performing many different cutting functions including:
Workpiece
Inspection
Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may
require modification before they are safe to cut.
Straight Cuts
• Miters
• Angles
• Compound Angles
• Resawing
• Ripping
• Crosscutting
Irregular Cuts
• Simple and Complex Curves
• Duplicate Parts
• Circles
• Beveled Curves
A properly adjusted and tuned bandsaw can be
safer to operate than most other saws and performs many functions with ease and accuracy.
Basic Cutting Tips
Here are some basic tips to follow when operating the bandsaw:
• Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as necessary and make adjustments periodically to
keep the saw always running in top condition.
Before cutting wood, get in the habit of
inspecting all workpieces for the following:
• Material Type: This machine is intended for
cutting natural and man-made wood products,
and laminate covered wood products. Cutting
drywall or cementitious backer board creates
extremely fine dust, which may reduce the
life of the bearings. This machine is NOT
designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.
• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While cutting, these objects can
become dislodged and hit the operator or
break the blade, which might then fly apart.
Always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. If they can't be removed, do
NOT cut the workpiece.
• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can
become dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots can cause blade damage.
Choose workpieces that do not have large/
loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting
through them.
• Use a light and even feed rate while cutting.
Light contact with the blade will permit easier
line following and prevent undue friction.
• Avoid trying to turn tight corners because this
will twist the blade. Remember, you must saw
around corners.
• Misuse of the saw or using incorrect techniques is unsafe and results in frustration and
poor cuts. Remember—the blade does the
cutting with the operator’s guidance.
-44-
• Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with
a moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary wear on the blade and yields poor
results.
• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to cut because they are unstable and can
move unpredictably when being cut. DO NOT
cut excessively warped wood.
• Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped
side faces the table or fence. On the contrary,
a workpiece supported on the bowed side will
rock during a cut, leading to loss of control.

Blade Dimensions
Length Range ................................ 1301⁄2 "–1311⁄2 "
Measured by the blade circumference, blade
lengths are specific to each bandsaw. They are
determined by the wheel diameter and distance
between the wheels. Blades will vary slightly
even in the same length because of how they are
welded. Refer to the Accessories section later in
this manual for blade replacements from Grizzly.
Blade Width
Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of
the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is
often the first consideration given to blade selection. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest
curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it
can cut a straight line.
• Curve Cutting: Use the chart in Figure 69
to determine the correct blade for curve cutting. Determine the smallest radius curve that
will be cut on your workpiece and use the
corresponding blade width (refer to Cutting Curves on Page 56 for more information).
3
/4"
51/2"
• Straight Cutting: Use the largest width
blade that you own. Large blades excel at
cutting straight lines and are less prone to
wander (known as blade lead —refer to Page
67 for more information on blade lead).
Tooth Style
Figure 70 illustrates the three main blade tooth
styles:
RakerSkipHook
Figure 70. Main blade tooth styles.
• Raker: Considered to be the standard
because the tooth size and shape are the
same as the tooth gullet. The teeth on raker
blades usually are very numerous, have no
angle, and produce cuts by scraping the
material. As a result, smooth cuts can be
achieved without cutting fast or generating
more heat than other tooth types.
Blade Width
Cutting Radius
Figure 69. Recommended cutting radius per
blade width.
G0513 Series Bandsaws (Mfd. Since 08/22)
• Skip: Similar to a raker blade that is missing
every other tooth. Because of the design,
skip toothed blades have a much larger gullet
than raker blades, and therefore, cut faster
and generate less heat. However, these
blades also leave a rougher cut than raker
blades.
• Hook: The teeth have a positive angle
(downward) which makes them dig into the
material, and the gullets are usually rounded
for easier waste removal. These blades are
excellent for the tough demands of resawing
and ripping thick material.
-47-
Page 62
Tooth Pitch
Measured as TPI (teeth per inch), tooth pitch
determines the number of teeth. More teeth per
inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother; while
fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut rougher,
but faster. As a general rule, choose blades that
will have at least three teeth in the material at all
times. Use fine-pitched blades on harder woods
and coarse-pitched blades on softer woods.
Tooth Set
Two common tooth sets for wood bandsaw blades
are alternate and raker. Each different type of
tooth set removes material in a different manner,
leaving cuts with different characteristics (see
Figure 71).
Blade Material
Bandsaw blades must meet two requirements:
flexibility and hardness. The flexibility of a blade
allows it to travel on the wheel as a band, while
hardness allows the teeth to cut and hold an
edge. Modern materials technology has allowed
bandsaw blades to meet these requirements in
various ways.
Carbon Steel: These blades are differentially
heat treated to provide hard teeth that will hold an
edge, and yet be flexible in the back.
Carbide Tooth: Extremely hard carbide is either
welded onto or impregnated into the carbon steel
blades, providing superior edge-holding characteristics (see Figure 72).
AlternateRaker
Figure 71. Common woodcutting bandsaw blade
tooth sets.
• Alternate: An all-purpose arrangement
where the teeth are bent evenly left and right
of the blade.
• Raker: Three teeth in a recurring group—one
bent left, one bent right, and then one that is
not bent. The raker set is ideal for most contour cuts.
Carbon Steel
Carbide Impregnated Steel

Bi-metal Blade: A strip of high-speed tool steel is
precision welded to a flexible carbon blade, then
teeth are ground into the blade to provide good
edge-holding qualities for blades taking a lot of
abuse (see Figure 73).

Blade Care &
Break-In
Blade Care
A bandsaw blade is a thin piece of steel that is
subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain
longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair
treatment and always use the appropriate feed
rate for your operation.
Be sure to select blades with the proper width,
set, type, and pitch for each application. Using the
wrong blade will produce unnecessary heat and
shorten the life of the blade.
Blade Breakage
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to
break. Blade breakage is unavoidable in some
cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar
stresses that bandsaw blades must endure.
Blade breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances. Avoidable blade breakage is most often
the result of poor care or judgement on the part
of the operator when mounting or adjusting the
blade or support guides.
The most common causes of blade breakage
are:
A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty
blade. Dirty or gummed up blades pass through
the cutting material with much more resistance
than clean blades. This extra resistance also
causes unnecessary heat.
Blade Break-In
The sharp teeth tips and edges of a new blade are
extremely sharp, and cutting at too fast of a feed
rate fractures the beveled edges of the teeth and
causes premature blade wear.
To properly break-in a new blade:
Choose the correct speed for the blade and

• Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade
guides.
• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a
short radius.
• Feeding the workpiece too fast.
• Dull or damaged teeth.
• Over-tensioned blade.
• Top blade guide assembly set too high above
the workpiece. Adjust the top blade guide
assembly so that there is approximately
1
⁄8"– 1⁄4" between the bottom of the assembly
and the workpiece.
• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld.
• Continuously running the bandsaw when not
in use.
• Leaving the blade tensioned when not in use.

• Using the wrong pitch (TPI) for the workpiece
thickness. The general rule of thumb is to
have not less than two teeth in contact with
the workpiece at all times during cutting.

Speed
The blade speed can be adjusted to 1700 or 3500
FPM. Speed adjustments are made by moving the
V-belt position on the motor and wheel pulleys.
Most woodcutting can be performed successfully
at the higher blade speeds. Slower blade speeds
generally produce better results when cutting
hardwoods, intricate curves, or when an exceptionally smooth cut is desired.

Ripping
Crosscutting
"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of the
wood stock. For plywood and other processed
wood, ripping simply means cutting down the
length of the workpiece. Beveled rip cuts may be
performed by tilting the table.
To make a rip cut:
Adjust fence to match width of cut on your
1.
workpiece, then lock fence in place.
Adjust blade guide assembly to proper height
2.
above workpiece.
3.
After all safety precautions have been met,
turn bandsaw ON and wait for it to come to
full speed. Slowly feed workpiece into blade
until blade is completely through workpiece.
Figure 79 shows an example of a ripping
operation.
Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the
grain of wood. For plywood and other processed
wood, crosscutting simply means cutting across
the width of the material. Crosscuts can be 90° or
angled using the miter gauge. Compound crosscuts are those where the miter is angled and the
table tilted.
To make a crosscut:
Mark workpiece on edge where you want to
1.
begin cut.
Adjust blade guide assembly to proper height
2.
above workpiece.
Adjust miter gauge to correct angle needed
3.
for cut.
Move fence out of the way. Place workpiece
4.
evenly against miter gauge, then line up mark
with blade.
Figure 79. Example of a ripping operation.
ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping
narrow pieces. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in amputation or
laceration injuries!
NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of
cut. If you slip, your hands or fingers may
go into the blade and may be cut.
After all safety precautions have been met,
5.
turn bandsaw ON and wait for it to come to
full speed. Slowly feed workpiece into blade
until blade is all the way through workpiece.

Resawing
"Resawing" means cutting the thickness of a
board into two or more thinner boards (see
Figure 81 for an example). The maximum height
of a board that can be resawn is limited by the
maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.
One of the most important considerations for
resawing is blade selection—a wide blade cuts
straighter and is less prone to blade lead (see
Blade Lead on Page 67 for more details).
For most applications, use a blade with a hook or
a skip tooth style. Choose blades with fewer teethper-inch (from 3 to 6 TPI), because they offer larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust, which
reduces heat buildup and strain on the motor.
2. Use widest blade the bandsaw will accept.
3. Install resaw fence (see Figure 82), set it to
desired width of cut, and lock it in place.
Figure 82. Resaw fence mounted in vertical
position.
Note: When resawing thin workpieces, set up
resaw fence in horizontal position, as shown
in Figure 83.
Figure 81. Example of a resawing operation.
When resawing thin pieces, a wandering
blade (blade lead) can tear through the side
of the workpiece, exposing your hands to
the blade teeth. Always use push blocks
when resawing and keep your hands clear
of the blade.
Using Resaw Fence

Cutting Curves
Stacked Cuts
When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and
turn the stock carefully so the blade follows the
layout line without twisting. If curves are sharp or
tight, use a narrower blade with more TPI (teeth
per inch) and make relief cuts to avoid having to
back the workpiece away from the blade.
Always make short cuts first, then proceed to
the longer cuts. Relief cuts reduce the chance of
the blade being pinched or twisted. Relief cuts
are cuts made through the waste portion of the
workpiece and are stopped at the layout line, so
when you're cutting along the layout line, waste
wood is released from the workpiece, alleviating
any pressure on the back of the blade. Relief cuts
also make it easier to back the workpiece out
once the saw blade has come to a stop, if needed.
The list below displays blade widths and
the corresponding minimum radii for those
blade widths.
One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to
cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stacking a number of workpieces together. However,
before making stacked cuts, ensure that the table
is perpendicular (90°) to the blade—otherwise,
any error in this setting will be compounded in the
workpieces.
To complete a stacked cut:
Align workpieces from top to bottom.
1.
2. Secure all pieces together in a manner that
will not interfere with cutting. Hot gluing
along edges works well, as does brad nailing
through waste portion. (Be careful not to cut
into brads or you may break blade!)
Lay out shape you intend to cut on face of top

piece.
4.
Make relief cuts perpendicular to outline of
your intended shape in areas where changes
in blade direction could strain woodgrain or
cause blade to bind.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine immediately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the bandsaw is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has
built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove
it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping it clean after every use—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces. Keep the table rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT

Wheel Brush
The bandsaw is equipped with a lower wheel
brush to keep saw dust from building up on the
tire. The brush should be checked daily and
cleaned when it becomes dirty.
Lubrication
An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them. This step
is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard
to move. Simply adding more grease to builtup grime will not result in smooth moving parts.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner or mineral spirits before
applying lubrication.
All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated. Leave them alone until they need to be
replaced.

Models G0513X2 and G0513X2BF have cast iron
trunnions that produce a fine graphite powder
over time that acts as a lubricant. We recommend not adding lubricant to the trunnions which
could make a sticky substance that would prevent
smooth movement.

V-Belt Service
To replace the V-belt:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
Checking V-Belt
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good
condition and properly tensioned. The belt should
be free of cracks, fraying, and wear. Belt tension
and condition should be checked at least every 3
months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily.
To check V-belt tension:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Open the lower wheel cover.
Check the condition of the V-belt. If the V-belt
3.
is cracked, frayed, or glazed, replace it.
Check V-belt tension by applying moderate
4.
pressure between the pulleys (see Figure
102). If deflection is not approximately
tension the V-belt following the same steps
you used when changing blade speeds (refer
to ChangingBlade Speed on Page 52 if
necessary).

Blade Lead
Skewing Fence
1. Cut a straight and parallel wood board
approximately 3⁄4" thick x 3" wide x 16" long.
"Blade Lead" means that the blade does not cut
straight when using the fence or miter gauge (see
Figure 105). This is a common condition with all
bandsaws. Worn or damaged blades may cause
lead, and replacing them will fix the problem. Still,
if your bandsaw is set up correctly and blade lead
occurs, compensate for it by skewing the fence.
Another solution is to install a drift bar on the resaw
fence to create a pivot point that will provide more
control during resaw operations (see Pages 55 & 57 for more details).

Adjusting Wheel
Adjusting Quick-
Brush
The lower wheel has a brush, as shown in Figure
107, that is designed to sweep sawdust off the
wheel tire as the wheel rotates. In order to work
properly, the brush must make firm contact with
the wheel.
Wheel Brush
Release Tension Lever
The quick-release tension lever was set up at the
factory for use with the pre-installed 131 1⁄2 " blade.
However, if you install a different length blade,
you will need to adjust the quick-release adjustment screw so that the quick-release lever works
correctly.
Keep in mind that actual blade lengths may vary
slightly by manufacture.

Wheel alignment is one of the most critical factors
for optimal performance from your bandsaw.
Heat, vibration, wandering, blade wear, tire wear,
and overall bandsaw wear are considerably
decreased when the wheels are properly aligned
or "coplanar."
Coplanar wheels automatically track the blade
by balancing it on the crown of the wheel. This is
known as coplanar tracking.
1. Make the "Coplanarity Gauge" shown in
Figure 113.
