9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-

AL STARTING. On machines with mag-

netic contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN

“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward

the operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create “kickback” and know how to avoid them. Read the manual accompanying the machine thoroughly.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running a machine.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to the operation of the machine are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

Additional Safety Instructions For Bandsaws

8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND

SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade

while cutting, especially when sawing small radii.

9. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO

CUT METAL or other material except

wood.

10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW

BLADE after turning the saw off. Allow it to

come to a complete stop before you leave it unattended.

11. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS, AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug

pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits

in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.

13. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING THE BANDSAW! Then contact our service

department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR

BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades

require more effort to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades before each use.

2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.

Serious personal injury could occur.

3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.

4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure

teeth face down toward the table. The force of the cut is always down. Make sure the blade is properly tensioned after installing.

5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY SUPPORTED by the table or some type of

support fixture. Always support round stock in a V-block.

6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY from the blade while the saw is running. Plan your cuts so you always cut out of the wood. If you need to back the work out, turn the bandsaw off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not twist or put excessive stress on the blade while backing work away.

7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL SPEED before beginning a cut.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

To operate this or any power tool safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with it as possible. The time you invest before you begin to use your bandsaw will be time well spent. DO NOT operate this machine until you are completely familiar with the contents of this manual or serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Model G3619

The Model G3619 Bandsaw is pre-wired for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the Model G3619 5 HP motor draws approximately 22 amps. We recommend a 30 amp circuit. This includes a 30 amp circuit breaker and wiring rated for at least 30 amps. This should be satisfactory for normal use, while providing enough protection against damage caused by an overloaded circuit. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G3619.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style L6-30 plug and outlet similar to Figure 1. You may also “hard- wire” the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine.

Model G9963

The Model G9963 Bandsaw is pre-wired for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the Model G9963 7.5 HP motor draws approxi mately 33 amps. We recommend using a 50 amp circuit. This includes a 50 amp circuit breaker and wiring rated for at least 50 amps. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department or your local electrical contractor.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G9963.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug. We recommend “hard-wiring” the bandsaw to the power source, provided you place a locking shut off switch near the machine to disconnect the power.

Be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

The Model G3620/G9966 Bandsaw is pre-wired for 3-phase, 220V operation. Under normal use,

⁄2 HP motor for this model draws approxi-

the 7 mately 19 amps. We recommend using a 25 amp circuit, including a 25 amp circuit breaker and wir ing rated for at least 25 amps. If frequent circuit breaker failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G9963.

We recommend using a NEMA-style L15-30 plug and outlet, similar to Figure 2. You may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

The Model G3620/G9966 Bandsaw is furnished with a 7 to 440V. Under normal use, this motor draws approximately 10 amps at 440V. If 440V opera

tion is desired, we recommend using a 15 amp circuit that includes the appropriate wiring and circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department.

The bandsaw must be connected to its own dedi cated 10A circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is necessary for 440V use.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a power plug. We recommend “hard-wiring” the bandsaw to the power source, provided you place a locking shut off switch near the machine to disconnect the power. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

If you convert the bandsaw to 440V, the stock mag switch must be replaced with a differ ent mag switch specifically for 440V use. The 440 mag switch is not included with your bandsaw.

Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only extension cords that have grounding type plugs and receptacles that accept the plug on the machine

Grounding

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor. A plug with a grounding pin must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your bandsaw. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V or 440V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (Grade S) or better. Refer to the chart on page 3 to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Some metal parts may have sharp edges on them after they are formed. Please examine the edges of all metal parts before handling them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

The 24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws are heavy machines. DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – you will need assistance and power equipment. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.

-10- 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws

Site Considerations

1. Floor Load: The 24" and 27" Resaw

Bandsaws represent a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for your machine. Some residential floors may require additional build up to support both machine and operator.

2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your bandsaw.

3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting, or operating equipment.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti-

mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-

rine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in wellventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards.

The photos used in this manual are of the Model G9966. They are used for illustrative purposes only and any differences between the 24" and the 27" Bandsaws will be discussed in that particular section.

To complete the assembly process, follow the instructions in this section.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire assembly process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Keep power disconnected from machine when performing the assembly process. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Figure 4. Table installed correctly.

Table

To mount the table:

1. Installing the table is easiest if the blade is

out of the way. Remove the blade by first loosening the blade tension handwheel, then by sliding it off the bandsaw wheels. Wear heavy leather gloves to protect your hands.

2. With the help of another person, lift the table onto the trunnion.

3. Place the large hex bolt with washer through the table trunnion mount and the trunnion. Do not tighten the bolt completely at this time. The assembly should now look similar to Figure 4.

NOTICE

When the fence is to the left of the blade, it must be positioned near the center of the table in order to open the lower wheel cover.

Blade Guides

Always adjust the blade guides away from the blade before installing a new blade or making blade tracking/tension adjustments.

G9963/G9966 Blade Guides

To move the assemblies out of the way, loosen the middle cap screws (shown in Figure 9) from the front of the blade guide assembly. These screws loosen the guide blocks which can then slide out of the way of the blade. After the blade tension and the blade tracking are set correctly, follow the “Guide Block” and “Support Bearing” instructions in this section for adjustment details.

Figure 8. Front view of bandsaw.

Figure 9. For Model G9963/G9966

loosen middle cap screws on both sides

to move the blade guides.

Guide Post

The rack and pinion guide post can be easily raised and lowered by first loosening the lock knob, then turning the guide post handwheel. Because the blade guard and the entire upper blade guide assembly are attached to the guide post, these items move up or down with the guide post.

G3619/G3620 Blade Guides

To move the guide blocks away from the blade, unscrew the knurled lock nuts on the guide block shaft and rotate the guide blocks away from the blade.

24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws -15-

G3619/G3620

Tracking

The wheels on the Model G3619/G3620 Resaw Bandsaws are crowned with rubber tires. This style requires center tracking for proper operation.

To center track your blade:

1. Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!

2. Open the upper wheel cover door. Slowly

rotate the upper wheel and watch where the blade rides on the wheel. If the blade stays centered on the crown of the wheel, then it is properly tracked.

3. If the blade does not ride centered on the crown of the wheel, then spin the upper wheel by hand and adjust the tracking handwheel until the blade is positioned correctly.

4. Spin the wheel approximately three more times to ensure that the blade stays centered. Adjust and check if necessary.

5. Close the upper wheel cover door.

G9963/G9966

Tracking

The wheels on the Model G9963/G9966 Resaw Bandsaws are considered “Flat Wheels.” This means that tracking procedures vary from the common crowned wheel bandsaws, because they do not have to be centered for proper operation.

To track the blade:

1. Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!

2. Open the wheel cover doors and check the

position of the blade on the wheels. The teeth of the blade should be over the edge of each wheel. Ideally, the bottom of the teeth gullets should ride approximately

⁄16" off the

edge of the wheels as shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Bottom of teeth gullets protruding

⁄16"

from the edge of the upper wheel.

-16- 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws

Figure 11. Folded dollar between support

bearing and blade.

The support bearings back-up the blade during the sawing operation. The important adjustments to make with the support bearings are centering them laterally and adjusting the distance between the support bearing and the back of the blade.

To center the support bearings laterally:

1. Loosen the two hex bolts that allow the

upper assembly to move side-to-side.

2. Shift the entire assembly so the blade is centered on the support bearing.

3. Tighten the two hex bolts.

Support Bearings

3. Turn the upper wheel clockwise by hand and

watch the blade ride on the wheels. If the bottom of the blade gullets are not approximately

⁄16 " away from the edge of the wheels then you need to adjust the tracking handwheel on the backside of the saw.

4. Turn the tracking handwheel a few times and note the direction that the blade shifts when you spin it by hand.

5. Adjust the tracking handwheel until the blade gullets ride approximately

⁄16" away from the edge of the wheels while you are spinning the upper wheel by hand. Your saw is now properly tracked.

To adjust the support bearings behind the blade:

1. Loosen the hex bolt that secures the support

bearing shaft in place.

2. Adjust the support bearing shaft so it is approximately .016" away from the back of the blade. Four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approximately the equivalent to .016". For a quick gauge, fold a dollar bill in half twice.

3. Slip your folded dollar between the back of the blade and the support bearing as shown in Figure 11. Lightly pinch the folded dollar with the support bearing and secure the support bearing shaft in place.

4. Remove the folded dollar bill.

Figure 12. Single thickness of a dollar on each

side of the blade.

4. Lightly pinch the dollar between the blade guides and the blade. Secure the cap screw to lock the blade guides in place.

5. Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade guide shaft to the guide post collar. Adjust the blade guide assembly either forward or backward, so the front blade guide is positioned not more than

⁄4" behind the bottom of

the blade gullet as illustrated in Figure 13.

6. Tighten the blade guide shaft hex bolt.

The guide blocks ensure that the blade cannot move side-to-side too far during operation. Perform steps 1-4 for both upper and lower guide blocks.

1. Loosen the guide blocks from the center setscrew in the guide bracket.

2. The guide blocks should be approximately .004" away from the blade. This number is approximately the same as the single thickness of a dollar bill.

3. Fold a dollar bill once and slide it over the blade so each side is between blade and the blade guides as shown in Figure 12.

Table Stop

Always disconnect power to the machine when making adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

The positive stop under the table (see Figure 15) allows you to repeatedly square up the table after adjusting the table tilt. To adjust the positive stop so the table will return perpendicular (90°) to the blade after angle cutting:

1. Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!

The blade guard is attached to the guide post above the upper blade guide assembly. For proper setup, the blade should be centered in the blade guard.

To center the blade guard:

1. Loosen the hex bolt that secures the blade

guard bracket to the guide post.

2. Rotate the blade guard bracket in the appropriate direction until the blade guard is centered around the blade as illustrated in

Figure 14.

3. Tighten the hex bolt that secures the blade

Table Tilt

To tilt the table:

1. Disconnect power to the bandsaw!

2. Loosen the large hex bolt in the center of the

table trunnion.

3. Tilt the table to the desired angle. Refer to the angle gauge.

4. Tighten the large hex bolt in the center of the table trunnion.

2. Loosen the large hex bolt and the jamnut in the center of the table trunnion.

3. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and place a 6" machinist’s square on the table against the blade as shown in Figure 16. Notice how far out of square your table is and approximate this distance by adjusting the positive stop up or down. Turning the positive stop counterclockwise will raise it and clockwise will lower it. Adjust the positive stop so the table will stop at a 90° angle (square) to the blade.

4. Lock the positive stop by tightening the jamnut. Do not let the stop turn while tightening the jamnut. Tighten the large hex nut in the center of the table trunnion.

5. Set the angle pointer to zero on the table tilt gauge.

Blade Tension

Proper blade tension is essential to any cutting operation on the bandsaw. Any time you change blades or remove a blade, you must re-adjust the tension.

To adjust the tension:

1. Loosen the upper and lower guide blocks.

Tighten them down and away from the blade

BEFORE turning ON.

2. Lower the upper guide block assembly down to the table and tighten.

3. With moderate tension already on the blade,

turn the bandsaw ON.

4. If you see the blade start to flutter, increase the tension until the blade stops fluttering, then tighten the tension handle an additional half turn.

If the blade does not flutter, decrease the tension until it begins to flutter, then tighten just to the point that it stops fluttering. Now tighten the tension handle an additional half turn.

5. Turn the bandsaw OFF and make the other

adjustments in this section. Also, check the tracking and blade guides to make sure that they did not change after tensioning the blade.

If the blade does not cut properly, the tension may be incorrect. Re-adjust the tension.

After setting the tension, make a note of what the tension gauge reads. Use this to go back to your tension setting during later tensioning and retensioning with that particular blade.

Keep in mind that blades will last longer if you release the tension after every use. Also, new blades will often stretch with use. A tension that worked well when a blade was new may not work as well after the blade has been used.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Push

the START button to turn on the bandsaw. Make

sure that your hand is poised over the switch in case there is a problem. The bandsaw should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. If strange or unnatural noises are immediate-

ly apparent, press the STOP button. Investigate

and correct before operating the machine further.

If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our service department for help.

Test Run

The rest of the adjustments in this section require you to start the bandsaw. Before starting the bandsaw, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safety issues associated with this machine. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death!

24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws -21-

NOTICE

Lead adjustments will change when new blades are mounted in the saw.

NOTICE

If the table is shifted, the fence will be affected since it is attached.

Blade Lead

Sometimes the bandsaw blade will not cut straight even when the fence and blade are parallel (see Figure 17). This condition is called “lead.” Lead occurs (1) if the blade tension is incorrect, (2) if the teeth are dull on one side, or (3) if the teeth are set heavier on one side of the blade than the other.

If you determine that your blade is causing lead problems, you should consider:

• Checking/adjusting the blade tension

• Replacing the blade

• Sharpening the blade

• Skewing the fence to match the lead

• Attaching an aftermarket or shop made resaw fence attachment.

Fence Adjustment

The fence slides along the rail for adjustment and secures in place by tightening the star knob.

If you notice that the fence is not parallel to the blade, it can be adjusted where the rail mounts to the bottom of the table.

To adjust the fence so it is parallel with the blade:

1. With a different saw, cut a board to 1" x 4" x

28". Down the length of the board, joint one edge perfectly straight, or rip a narrow strip off the length of the board with a table saw.

2. On a wide face of the board, draw a straight line parallel to the jointed/ripped edge.

3. Slide the bandsaw fence out of the way and cut free-hand along the line. Stop at the

halfway point. Turn the bandsaw OFF and

wait for the blade to stop.

4. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table without moving it. Now slide the fence over to the board so it barely touches one end of the board.

5. Loosen the two hex bolts that secure the fence rail to the underside of the table.

6. Skew the fence left or right so it is parallel to the edge of the scrap piece. You may need to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to gain maximum adjustment.

7. While maintaining the skew, tighten the rail mounting bolts.

8. Make a few cuts using the fence. If the fence still does not seem parallel to the blade, read the “Blade Lead” instructions, or repeat steps 1-7 until the blade and fence are parallel with each other.

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses during the entire operation process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or assembly. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Blade Selections

NOTICE

The following section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this bandsaw. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every bandsaw application. There are many different jigs that can be built to increase safety, accuracy, and types of cuts. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your machine.

Selecting the right blade requires a combination of the various blade characteristics mentioned below, the type of material you plan to cut, and the type of cut you are going to perform.

Blade Length

Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually unique to the model of your bandsaw and the wheel diameter. The Model G3619/3620 is designed for blades that are 175" long. The Model G9963/G9966 requires blades that are 206

⁄4" long.

Blade Width

Measured from the 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.

A narrow blade can cut tight curves (a small radius) but is not very good at cutting straight lines, because they naturally wander (blade lead). However, larger blades are much better at cutting straight lines and this makes them a natural choice for resawing applications

The 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws function best with blades that are 2" or 3" wide. Refer to the current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering information. Always pick the size of blade that best suits your application.

Tooth Style

When selecting blades, another option to consider is the shape, gullet size and angle of the teeth—otherwise known as “Tooth Style.”

24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws -23-

Figure 18. Raker, Skip and Hook blades.

Raker

Skip

Hook

• RAKER — This style is considered to be the standard because the tooth size and shape are the same as the tooth gullet. The teeth on Raker blades are usually very numerous, have no angle, and produce cuts by scraping the material; these characteristics result in very smooth cuts, but at the same time do not cut fast and generate more heat while cutting.These blades also work well for cutting curves.

• SKIP — This style is like 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. Great for resawing and ripping thin stock.

• HOOK — The teeth on this style 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 stock.

Tooth Pitch

Usually measured as T.P.I. (teeth per inch), tooth pitch determines the size of the 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, but not more than twelve teeth in the material at all times. Use fine pitched blades on harder woods and coarse pitched blades on softer woods.

Blade Care

A bandsaw blade is a delicate 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, style, and pitch for each application. The wrong choice of blades will often produce unnecessary heat which will shorten the life of your blade.

A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty blade. A dirty blade passes through the cutting material with much more resistance than a clean blade. This extra resistance will also cause unnecessary heat. Maintain your blades with a cutting blade lubricant like SLIPIT

(Model

G5562/3 in the Grizzly Catalog).

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 are subjected to. Blade breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances. Avoidable 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: (1) faulty alignment or adjustment of the guides, (2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve of short radius, (3) feeding too fast, (4) tooth dullness or absence of sufficient set, (5) excessive tension, (6) top blade guide assembly set too high above the work piece, (7) using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld and (8) running the bandsaw when not in use.

Figure 18 shows the three main categories of tooth style.

-24- 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws

Blade Changes

To remove the blade:

1. After making sure the bandsaw is

unplugged, release the tension on the blade by turning the tension control knob counterclockwise.

2. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks away from the blade.

3. Put on leather gloves to protect your hands from the sharp teeth of the blade.

4. Open the upper and lower wheel covers and slide the blade off both wheels. Use caution—the blades are sharp!

Wear gloves and safety goggles when handling blades. Coiled blades spring open as they are uncoiled and could cause deep cuts or lacerations.

Always disconnect power to the machine when changing blades. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

To replace the blade:

1. Slide the blade through the table slot, ensur-

ing that the teeth are pointing down toward the table.

If the teeth will not point downward in any orientation, the blade is inside-out. Put on heavy gloves, remove the blade, and twist it rightside-out.

2. Slip the blade through the upper and lower guides, and mount it over the upper and lower wheels so the blade teeth are over the edge of the wheels.

3. Apply tension, then check and adjust tracking.

4. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks and support bearings.

5. Close and latch the wheel covers.

24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws -25-

Ripping is the process of cutting a wide board into two or more thinner boards. See Figure 19. The maximum board width that can be ripped is limited by the maximum throat dimension of the bandsaw.

For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most ripping applications, a standard raker tooth style will be sufficient. Also, since most ripped lumber will be jointed smooth, you can choose blades with fewer teeth-per-inch.

To perform ripping operations:

1. The bandsaw must be adjusted correctly.

See “Blade Tension/Tracking” instructions and “Fence Adjustment” instructions.

2. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the workpiece with a minimum amount of blade exposed. Read instructions on “Blade Lead” before making a cut.

3. Use a fence to guide the work. Set the distance between the fence and the blade to the desired width.

4. Support the ends of the board if necessary.

5. Feed the work slowly and evenly with the

straightest edge against the fence.

Ripping

Figure 19. Typical ripping operation.

Stacked Cuts

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.

Before making stacked cuts, it is essential to ensure that both the table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise, any error will be compounded with each piece from the top to the bottom of the stack.

To complete a stacked cut:

1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to

ensure that each piece has adequate scrap to provide a clean, unhampered cut.

2. Secure all the pieces together using brad nails through the waste portion or using beads of hot glue across the outside edges.

3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on the face of the top piece.

4. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the workpiece with a minimum amount of the blade exposed. One inch is ideal.

5. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline of your intended shape in areas where changes in blade direction could strain the blade.

6. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were cutting a single piece. Follow the layout line with the blade kerf on the waste side of your line.

-26- 24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws

Resawing

Resawing is the process of cutting the thickness of a board into two or more thinner boards. Each new board is the same width and length as the original board, but the thickness is less. The maximum board width that can be resawn is limited by the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.

The most important consideration when resawing is blade selection. When selecting a blade, keep in mind that generally a wider blade is easier to control.

In most applications a hook or skip tooth style will work fine. Also, since most resawn lumber will be planed smooth, you can choose blades with fewer teeth per inch (3 to 6). While blades with fewer teeth per inch produce rougher cuts, these types of blades offer larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust, they produce less heat, and they yield more horsepower per tooth.

To resaw lumber, follow the procedure below:

1. The blade must be adjusted correctly for ten-

sion and tracking.

2. The fence must be square to the blade.

3. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the

workpiece with a minimum amount of blade exposed.

4. Use the widest blade that will fit your bandsaw. (Use the data sheets in the back of this manual to determine the maximum blade width for your saw.) The blade must also be sharp and in good condition. Read “Blade Lead” instructions.

5. Use the fence to guide the work.

6. Support the ends of the board if necessary.

7. Feed the work slowly and evenly.

When resawing, consider using an auxiliary fence that is higher than the standard fence. This provides a more solid surface for the workpiece to slide against. An auxiliary fence can be made from any straight and flat piece of lumber and can be bolted or screwed to the standard fence.

When using a fence to guide the board, the actual line of cut may not be exactly parallel to the fence. This is due to a number of reasons involving the configuration of the table, condition of the blade, the cutting forces, and the blade tension. To correct this condition, refer to the “Blade Lead” instructions.

Do not force the wood into the blade during cutting. This will distort the blade, cause excessive heat and often results in blade breakage. Breakage can cause lacerations, cuts, or serious personal injury.

24" & 27" Resaw Bandsaws -27-

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. The belts should be checked for cracks, fraying and wear. Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is used daily.

The V-belt is accessed via the bottom cover. Squeeze the center of the V-belt. Note the amount of deflection. Deflection should be approximately

⁄4".

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the 24" and 27" Resaw Bandsaws should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use ensures that wood dust is not allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like SLIPIT

. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Boeshield

T-9. See the current Grizzly catalog

for these products.

Table

Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings are standard sizes, and replacements can be purchased from our parts department or bearing supply store.

As for other items on this machine, such as adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of light oil is just about all that is necessary. Before applying, however, wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth or dry paint brush, and spray on the lubricant. Ensure that oil does not get on the pulleys or V-belt because it could cause belt deterioration and slipping.

Lubrication

Always be aware of the condition of your bandsaw. Routinely check the condition of the following items and repair or replace as necessary:

• Loose mounting bolts

• Worn switch

• Worn or damaged blade

• Worn or damaged support bearings or guide

bearings

Miscellaneous

Always disconnect power to the machine when performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
