7.

Be sure that blade rests againstball bearing (A,

Fig. 13), not behind it.

8. Replace blade guard on column.

9. Tension the saw blade by turning tension hand

wheel. Rotate the wheel by hand and make
sure the blade is properly seated in the blade
guides. Blade guides will have to be adjusted

if the replacement blade is a different type and

width.

Blade Selection

Proper blade selection isjust as important to band

saw operation as is blade speed and material feed.

Proper blade selection will impact blade life,
straightness of cut, cut finish, and efficiency of
operation. Excess blade breakage,stripping of

teeth, and waviness of cut are some of the results of

improper blade selection.
Blades are classified by material composition, tooth

shape, pitch of teeth, and type of set, gage of the
band material, and kerf of the set (width of cut).

Material Composition
Carbon Steel - low cost, for use with non-ferrous

materials, wood, and plastics.
High Speed Steel - resists heatgenerated by dry

cutting. Used for ferrous metals and are more
expensive than carbon steel blades;

Alloy Steel - tough and wear resistant, cuts faster

with longer blade life. Used on hard materials.

More expensive than carbon or highspeed steel.
Carbide Tipped - for cutting unusual materials such

as uranium, titanium, or beryllium.

Fig. 13

8

Tooth Shape

Note: When cutting thin materials, the rule for blade
pitch is to have a minimum of two teeth engaging

the material being cut at all times.
Standard Tooth - generally usedto cut ferrous

metals, hard bronze, hard brass, andthin metals.

Skip Tooth - have better chip clearance (larger
gullet) and are used on softer, non-ferrous materials

such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, and soft

brass.

Hook Tooth - provides a chip breaker and has less

tendency to gum up in softer materials. Used inthe

same materials as skip tooth but can be fed faster

than standard or skip tooth blades.

Set Type

Straight Set - used for free cutting non-ferrous

materials; i.e., aluminum, magnesium, plastics, and

wood.

Wavy Set - used on materials of varying thickness

(pipe, tubing, and structural shapes).

RakerSet - used in large cuts on thick plate and bar
stock where finish of cut is not as important as
speed.

Gage

Blade gage isthe thickness of material from which

the blade is produced. The thicker the material, the

stronger the blade will be.

Kerf

Kerf isthe width of a cut. Kerf will vary according to

set of blade teeth.

Blade Width

The narrowerthe blade,the tighter the minimum
radius of cut will be. Always use the widest blade
possible for the job.

9

General rulesfor blade selection:

1.

Select coarser pitch blades for thicker or softer

material.

2.

Select finer pitch blades for thinner or harder

material.

3.

Use fine pitch bladesto obtain a smooth finish.

4.

Use coarse pitch bladesto obtain faster cutting

speeds (thick material).

5.

To prevent premature bladewear, usethe

fastest practical speed.

6.

Adjust the feed rate to ensure continuous

cutting action.

7.

Run the bandsawwith the blade centered in the

upper and lower guides and the gui<;lefingers
adjusted as close as possiblewithout touching

the blade or weld joint.

LfS: WARNING

Neveradjust guide fingers while blade is

running! Failure to comply may cause

serious injury!

Blade Shear and Blade Preparation

1.

Blade should becut to the longest lengththat

machine will accept.

2.

Put handle in the upright position.

3.

Place blade againstthe back of the square

cutting guide of the shear.

4.

Bring handledown firmly to cut blade.

5.

Usethe blade grinder to assurethe blade ends

areflat, square, and smooth.

6.

With fine pitched blades, one or more teeth

from each side will have to be removed by
grinding so that the crosssection of the weld

area is unjform.

Welder Preparation

1.

Clean the welder jaws and the lowerjaw inserts.

Welding

it:, CAUTION

The welder is designed for intermittent use.

Repeated welding within a short period of time

may cause the welder to overheat.

1. Turn pressure switch (A, Figure 14) to the zero
position.

2. Join blade ends together and locate union inthe
center between two electrodes. Lockblade in

positionby liftinglevers (Cand D, Fig. 14).

3. Set pressure switch (A)to blade widthaccording

to the scale.

4. Press weld button (8). Do not release untilthe

weld has been completed.

Annealing

1. Release the welded blade and clamp itagain
between the front edge ofthe twojaws.

2. Annealing procedure willdepend on blade type:
Carbon Steel Blades

1. Press and jog the annealing switch button until

the weld is a "dullcherry"to "cherryred" color.

2. Allowthe blade to coolslowlybydecreasing the

jogg~ngfrequency.

Carbon

Steel Hard Back Blades

1. Heat the blade slowlyuntilthe weld becomes a

deep blue color.

2. Continue to heat byjogging the anneal button

untilthe widthof the blue color is one-half the
length of the band exposed between the jaws.

3.

Do not overheat or the temper ofthe band will

be damaged. Caution - Do not heat beyond

the "blue"stage. Ifthe band begins to show

any red color, itis too hot. Coolquicklyby
releasing the anneal button.

Correct annealing of Carbon Steel Hard

Back Blades

Bi-Metal Blades

1. Heat the bladeslowly by jogging the annealing

switch button until the weld just begins to emit
light (dull red color). The desired color may
not always be visible in normal room light -
alwaysshadethe weld area.

2. Cool the weld quickly by releasing the annealing
button.

3.

Follow this procedure before and after grinding

bi-metal blades.

Blade Grinding

LIS: WARNING

Keep hands away from rotating grinding wheel!

Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Always heed the indicator light

-when glowing,

it warns that the grinder motor is running.

After annealing, the blade must be ground to
remove excess metal or flash from the weld. With

the teeth facing out, grind the weld carefully. Do not
hitthe teeth, grind deeper than the weld, burn, or
overheat the weld area. Be sure to remove flash

from the back edge of the blade. Any flash or "stub"
teeth which project beyondthe normal set or height
of the other teeth must be ground off.

Secondary Annealing

Anneal the weld 2-3 times again after grinding.

Welder Clean-Up

It is important that the welderjaws be kept clean at
all times. The jaws and inserts must be wiped or
scraped clean after every weld. Doing this will
ensure better welds by:

1. Holding proper alignment.

2. Preventing flash from becoming embedded in
the blade.

3. Preventing shorts or poor electrical contact.

12

Lubrication Schedule

1. Upper Blade Guide Shaft - lightly grease

weekly. Clean after every day's use.

2. Speed Change Handle - grease monthly with a
light film on teeth and threads.

3. Variable Pulley - found on end of pulley shaft.
Lubricatefitting usinga light weight grease. .

4. Blade Tension Screw - grease monthly.
