11.0 Prior to Operation
1. Check that blade tooth direction matches
diagram on blade guides.
2. Check to see that b lade is properly seated on
wheels after applying correction tension
(approximately 25,000 lbs.)
3. Set blade holder guides for approximately
0.003” to 0.005” clearance between t he guides
and blade.
4. Check for slight clearance between back-up
rollers and back of blade.
5. Position blade guides as close to work piece
as possible.
7
6. Select proper speed a nd feed rate f or material
being cut. Consult Machinery’s Handbook or
similar source for speed and feed charts.
7. Material to be cut must be securely held in
vise.
8. Check to see that coolant level is adequate
and turn on coolant pump if m aterial to be cut
requires it. Machine should be filled with four
gallons of the proper coolant mixture. Follow
the directions on the product maker’s label and
fill the coolant tank through the chip tray area.
9. Do not start cut on a sharp edge.
10. Keep machine lubricated. See “Lubrication”
section.
12.3 Adjusting feed rate
Rate of feed is adjusted by turning the cutting
pressure control knob on the control panel. Rate of
feed is important to bandsaw performance,
excessive pressure may break the blade or stall
the saw. Insufficient pressure rapidly dulls the
blade.
Material chips or shavings are the best indicator of
proper speed and pressure. The ideal chip is thin,
tightly curled, and warm to the touch. Chips that
range from golden brown to black indicate
excessive force. Blue chips indicate e xtreme heat
from too high a band speed which will shorten
blade life. Thin or powdered chips indicate
insufficient feed pressure.
12.0 Adjustments
12.1 Adjusting vise square to blade
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place a machinist’s square on the table
against the blade and the vise. The square
should lie along the entire length of the vise
