6. Place it betweenthe fingers of both blade
guides and onto both wheels. Position next to
both wheel flanges. Make sureteeth point

downtowardthe table.

7.

Be sure that blade rests against ball 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.

Fig. 13

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 heat generated 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 high speedsteel.
Carbide Tipped - for cutting unusual materials such

as uranium, titanium, or beryllium.

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 in the
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 is the 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 bladeteeth.

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 blades to obtain a smooth finish.

4.

Use coarse pitch bladesto obtain faster cutting

speeds (thick material).

5.

To prevent premature blade wear, usethe

fastest practical speed.

6.

Adjust the feed rate to ensure continuous

cutting action.

Run the bandsawwith the blade centered in the

7.
upper and lower guides andthe gui<;lefingers

adjusted as close as possiblewithout touching
the blade or weldjoint.

Blade Grinding

LIS: WARNING

Keep hands away from rotating grinding wheel!

Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Always heed the indicator light

it warns that the grinder motor is running.

-when glowing,

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. Besureto 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 monthlywith a
light film on teeth andthreads.

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

4. Blade Tension Screw - grease monthly.
