Dust Collection

Recommended CFM at each Dust Port: ..........400 CFM

If cutting both wood and metal, connect this machine to
a shop vacuum rather than a dust collector. Most dust
collectors are not designed to capture metal shavings and
doing so may lead to a fire from wood dust contacting hot
metal cuttings or sparks from metal pieces hitting a dust
collector impeller.

Figure 15. Miter gauge and fence holders

installed.

Figure 16. Dust hoses connected to dust

ports.

Mixing wood and metal cuttings may
cause a fire. Do not collect metal
shavings in a wood dust collector.
Instead, use a shop vacuum to collect
metal shavings.

Table Tilt

Model M1113 (Mfd. Since 05/22)

To tilt the table, do these steps:

1. Loosen table support lock knob, then loosen two
trunnion knobs underneath table (see Figure 17).

An adjustable table stop bolt allows the table to easily

return to 90˚ after tilting.

To set table stop so table is 90˚ to blade, do these steps:

1. Make sure blade is correctly tensioned as described
in Blade Tensioning instructions on Page 19 in
Manual.

2. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

3. Loosen table support lock knob, then two table trun-
nion knobs (see Figure 18).

4. Loosen hex nut that locks table stop bolt in place.

5. Raise upper blade guide assembly and place a 6"

machinist’s square or tri-square on table next to
blade, as illustrated in Figure 19. Adjust table stop

bolt to raise or lower table until table is 90˚ to

blade.

6. Tighten table trunnion knobs and lock the table stop
bolt by tightening the hex nut against the machine
body. Ensure bolt does not turn by holding it with

SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

SAFETY

NOTICE

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage
to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye­glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR AN NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause

permanent hearing damage.

Additional Safety for Bandsaws

READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.

SAFETY

1. BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with a dull, cracked, or badly worn blade. Dull blades require

more effort to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use, and replace if necessary.

2. HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious personal injury

could occur.

3. GUARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw without the blade guard in place.

4. BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing blades, make sure the teeth face down, toward the front

of the saw and the blade is properly tensioned before operating.

Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol­lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!

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

5. WORKPIECE HANDLING. Never hold small workpieces with your fingers when cutting. Always sup-

port/feed the workpiece with a push stick, table support, vise, or some type of clamping fixture.

6. CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your cuts carefully. DO NOT back the workpiece away from the blade

while the saw is running. 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 SPEED. Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.

8. LEAVING WORK AREA. Never leave a machine running while unattended. Allow the bandsaw to

come to a complete stop before leaving unattended.

9. FEED RATE. Always feed stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting,

especially when sawing tight curves.

10. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Do all inspections, adjustments, and maintenance with the machine

turned OFF and disconnected from the power source.

11. BLADE CONTROL. Do not attempt to stop or slow the blade with your hand or a workpiece. Allow

the blade to stop on its own.

12. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you experience difficulties performing the intended operation,

stop using the machine and contact our Technical Support Department at [phone].

Machine Placement

• Floor Load: This machine distributes a

heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine, operator,
and material to be processed.

• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your bandsaw. Refer to Figure 4.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

• Electrical: Place the machine near a
power source to avoid long runs of power
cords strung across your shop. Refer to the
Electrical section on Page 9 for information
on minimum circuit requirements.

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your
machine type are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during ship­ment. Clean this grease off with a solvent clean­er or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlo­rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner
or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum­based solvents. Most have
low flash points, which
make them extremely
flammable. A risk of
explosion and burning
exists if these products
are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!

Lifting & Moving

Lifting and moving this bandsaw is most safely done using
a forklift. The upper frame is angled at the lifting area, so
we recommend making a lifting block, as shown in Figure
5, to balance the machine when lifting.

If using a forklift is not an option, then the machine can
be moved with a heavy-duty dolly and at least three
strong people. Heavy-duty dollies can be easily purchased
at your local hardware store or rented.

To lift and move the bandsaw with a forklift, do these
steps:

1. Make the lifting block shown in Figure xx to ensure

that the machine remains balanced when lifted and
does not swing.

2. Place the lifting block under the upper frame, as
shown in Figure 6.

3. Either place the forks directly against the lifting

by removing the hex nut from the center and sliding
the wheel off.

To lift and move the bandsaw with three strong people
and a dolly, do these steps:

1. Carefully "walk" (pivot the bandsaw in alternating

steps) off of the shipping pallet and onto the shop
floor.

2. Place the dolly under the machine and move it into
place, having two extra people steady the machine
the entire time so that it does not tip over.

Mounting to Shop Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mount­ing hardware is not included. Generally, you can either
bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine
mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever
option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precison
level to level your machine.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs
(Figure 7) are two popular methods for anchoring an
object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the
many options and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific application.
Figure 8 shows the mounting locations for this machine.

Blade Tracking

"Blade Tracking" is how and where the blade rides on the
wheels. When tracking correctly, the blade rides on the
peak of the wheel crowns. Blade tracking is primarily con­trolled by adjusting the upper wheel tilt, also known as
"Center Tracking."

Another way to track the blade is known as "Coplanar
Tracking." Coplanar tracking involves positioning the
wheels so they are parallel and aligned (see Wheel
Alignment on Page 42). When wheels are coplanar, vibra­tion and heat are reduced during operation. The wheels
on the Model M1113 are factory aligned, but should be
checked to ensure optimum results.

To center track the blade:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Adjust the upper/lower blade guides and support

bearings away from the blade.

3. Open the upper wheel cover.

4. Rotate the blade tension lever to adjust the blade

tension until the indicator on the blade tension scale
matches the size of blade installed (see Page 19).

5. Spin the upper wheel by hand at least three times to
see how the blade rides on the crown of the wheel.
Refer to Figure 21 for an illustration of this concept.

— If the blade rides on the peak of the upper wheel

crown, then the bandsaw is already tracked prop­erly and no additional adjustments are needed.
Skip to Step 9.

— If the blade does not ride in the peak of the upper

wheel crown, then continue with the next step.

NOTICE

Changes in the blade tension may change
the blade tracking.

7. Spin the upper wheel with one hand and rotate the
blade tracking knobs evenly with the other hand to
make the blade ride on the center of the bandsaw
wheel tire.

8. When the blade consistently rides on the center of
the wheel, tighten the knob thread lock nuts.

9. Close the upper wheel cover.

Blade Tensioning

A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accu­rate cuts and is a prerequisite for making many bandsaw
adjustments. The blade tension is adjusted by rotating
the blade tension lever.

To tension the bandsaw blade:

1. Make sure you have performed the Test Run instruc-

tions on the previous page and you are certain that
the blade is tracking properly.

2. With the blade tension lever in the down (engaged)
position, adjust the blade tension until the indicator
on the blade tension scale (Figure 23) matches the
size of blade installed on the bandsaw.

Note: Because each blade is different and all blades

stretch, this scale is only an approximation. Always
measure blades from the tip of the tooth to the
back of the blade.

3. Turn the bandsaw ON.

4. Release the tension one quarter of a turn at a time.

When the bandsaw blade starts to flutter, stop
decreasing the tension.

5. Now, slowly increase the tension until the blade
stops fluttering, then tighten the tension one more
quarter of a turn.

6. Turn the bandsaw OFF and read the tension gauge.
Use the reading as a guide when tensioning that
blade in the future.

NOTICE

After blade tension and tracking are set
correctly, properly adjust the upper/
lower support bearings and guide-block
assemblies into position before operat­ing machine.

Note: Do not rely on this measurement for long

periods of time because the blade will stretch with
use, making the tension gauge slightly inaccurate.

Table Alignment

To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first
installed, align the table so the miter slot is parallel to
the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with the

largest blade that the machine accepts.

To align the miter slot parallel to the bandsaw blade,
do these steps:

1. Make sure the blade is correctly tracked and ten-

sioned.

2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3. Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the trunnions

to the table.

4. Place an accurate straightedge along the blade. The
straightedge should lightly touch both the front and
back of the blade (the flat part only) without touch­ing the blade teeth.

5. Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between the
straightedge and the miter slot. The distance you
measure should be the same at both the front and
back ends of the miter slot, as indicated by positions
"A" and "B" in Figure 33.

6. Adjust the table until the distance between the
blade and miter slot is equal at both ends.

7. Tighten the trunnion bolts.

Fence Alignment

To align the fence parallel with the miter slot, do these
steps:

1. Mount the fence on the right-hand side of the blade,

at the edge of the miter slot, then lock it in place.

2. Loosen the two cap screws that mount the front rail
brackets to the table.

3. Shim between the front rail brackets and table to
make the fence parallel with the miter slot.

Tip: Shim stock works well for this, but small pieces

of paper can also work in a pinch.

4. Tighten the front rail mounting bolts.

-23-

NOTICE

Adjusting the fence parallel to the
miter slot does not guarantee straight
cuts. The miter slot may need to be
adjusted parallel to the blade. Refer to
the Table Alignment instructions.

Workpiece Inspection

(Wood)

Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may require
modification before they are safe to cut.

Before cutting wood, get in the habit of inspecting all
workpieces for the following:

• Foreign Objects (Figure 36): 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.

• 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, as shown in Figure 37. On the con­trary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side will
rock during a cut, leading to loss of control.

Figure 36. Choosing wood without

embedded foreign objects embedded.

Because of its unpredicatable nature, use extreme
caution if cutting warped stock. The difference
between acceptable and unacceptable warped stock
varies from machine to machine. If you are in doubt,
square-up the stock first or do not cut it.

Workpiece Inspection

(Metal)

Some metal workpieces are not safe to cut with a verti­cal metal cutting bandsaw; instead, a different tool or
machine should be used to do the cutting.

Before cutting, inspect the stock for any of the follow­ing conditions and take the necessary precautions:

• Small or Thin Workpieces: Small or thin workpieces
are dangerous to cut if held by hand—avoid cut­ting these workpieces possible. If you must cut a
small or thin workpiece, attach it to or clamp it
between larger scrap pieces that will both support
the workpiece through the cut and keep your fingers
away from the blade. Some thin sheet metals will
not with withstand the forces from this bandsaw dur­ing cutting; instead, use a shear, nibblers, or sheet
metal nippers to cut these pieces.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

• Round or Unstable Workpieces: Workpieces that
cannot be properly supported or stablized without
a vise should not be cut on a vertical metal-cutting
bandsaw. Examples are chains, cables, round or
oblong-shaped workpieces, workpieces with internal
or built-in moving or rotating parts, etc.

• Material Hardness: Always factor in the hardness
of the any metal before cutting it. Hardened met­als will take longer to cut, may require lubrication,

OPERATIONS

and may require a different type of blade in order to
efficiently cut them.

• Tanks, Cylinders, Containers, Valves, Etc: Cutting
into containers that are pressurized or contain gasses
or liquids can cause explosions, fires, caustic burns,
or machine damage. Avoid cutting any of these types
of containers unless you have verified that the con­tainer is empty and it can be properly supported
during a cut.

• Magnesium: Pure magnesium burns easily. Cutting
magnesium with a dull blade can create enough fric­tion to ignite the small magnesium chips into a fire.
Avoid cutting magnesium if possible.

• Beryllium: Beryllium dust is toxic. Always wear a
respirator when cutting Beryllium or any alloys con­taining Beryllium. Also wear the respirator when
cleaning Beryllium dust and chips from the cutting
area.

Cutting Overview

The bandsaw is capable of performing the following
cuts:

• Miters

• Angles

• Compound Angles

• Resawing

• Ripping

• Crosscutting

• Simple and Complex Curves

• Duplicate Parts

• Circles

• Beveled Curves

Basic Cutting Tips

• Keep the upper blade guide assembly adjusted to
within 1" of the workpiece.

• Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as necessary.
Make adjustments periodically to keep the saw run­ning in top condition.

• Use light and even pressure while cutting. Light con­tact with the blade makes it easier to follow lines
and prevents extra friction, which reduces blade
life.

• Avoid twisting the blade when cutting around tight
corners. Allow the blade to saw around the corners.

• Misusing the saw or using incorrect techniques is
unsafe and results in poor cuts. Remember—the
blade does the cutting with the operator’s guidance.

• Do not start the machine with the workpiece touch­ing the blade.

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
This bandsaw is not designed to be
used with water soluable cutting
fluid or coolant when cutting metals.
Instead, use a small amount of oil­based lubricant.

Chips are width of
tooth, thin, curled,
and silvery:

OPERATIONS

• When cutting metal, pay attention to the character­istics of the chips when cutting—they are good indi­cators of proper blade speed and feed rate. Figure
38 shows the basic metal chip characteristics and
what they mean.

Table Tilt

To tilt the table, do these steps:

1. Loosen the two trunnion knobs underneath the table.

2. Tilt the table to the desired angle. (Refer to the

angle gauge on the front table trunnion.)

3. Retighten both table-tunnion knobs.

NOTICE

The table stop must be removed to tilt
the table left of 0°.

Guide Post

The guide post (shown in Figure 39) connects the upper
blade guide assembly to the bandsaw. The guidepost
allows the blade guide assembly to move up or down to
be as close to the workpiece as possible. In order to cut
accurately and safely, the bottom of the blade guide
assembly must be no more than 1" above the workpiece at
all times—this positioning provides the greatest blade sup­port and minimizes the amount of moving blade exposed
to the operator.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Guide Post
Handwheel

To adjust the blade guide assembly on the guide post
(the bandsaw must be turned OFF), do these steps:

1. Make sure that the blade tension, blade tracking,

support bearing, and blade guides are adjusted cor­rectly.

2. Loosen the guide post lock knob shown in Figure 39.

3. Use the guide post handwheel to raise/lower the

guide post so the bottom of the blade guide assem­bly is less than 1" from the top of the workpiece.

4. Lock the guide post with the lock knob.

Rip Cutting

When cutting solid wood, "Rip Cutting" means cutting with
the grain. For plywood or metal, rip cutting simply means

OPERATIONS

cutting down the length of the workpiece.

To make a rip cut, do these steps:

3. After all safety precautions have been met, turn the
bandsaw ON. Slowly feed the workpiece into the
blade and continue with the cut until the blade is
completely through the workpiece. Figure 40 shows
a typical ripping operation.

Note: If you cut narrow pieces, use a push stick to

protect your fingers.

-28-

NEVER place fingers or hands in the
line of cut. If you slip, your hands or
fingers may go into the blade. ALWAYS
use a push stick when ripping narrow
pieces. Failure to follow these warn­ings may result in serious personal
injury!

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Crosscutting

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of wood.
For plywood or metal, crosscutting simply means cutting
across the width of the workpiece.

To make a 90˚ crosscut, do these steps:

1. Move the fence out of the way, adjust the blade

guide assembly to to less than 1" above the
workpiece, and make sure the miter gauge is set to
90°.

2. Mark the workpiece on the edge where you want to
begin the cut, place the workpiece evenly against
the miter gauge, and align the mark with the blade.

3. After all safety precautions have been met, turn the
bandsaw ON. Slowly feed the workpiece into the
blade and continue the cut until the blade is all the
way through the workpiece. Figure 41 shows a typi­cal crosscutting operation.

Figure 41. Typical crosscutting operation.

Resawing

"Resawing" (Figure 42) is cutting a workpiece into two
or more thinner workpieces. Use the widest blade pos­sible when resawing—a wide blade cuts straighter and is
less prone to blade lead (see Page 40). For most applica­tions, use a blade with a hook- or skip-tooth style. Choose
blades with fewer teeth-per-inch (from 3 to 6), because
they offer larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust,
reducing heat buildup and reducing strain on the motor.

To resaw a workpiece, do these steps:

1. Verify that the bandsaw is setup properly and that

the table is perpendicular to the blade.

2. Use the widest blade your bandsaw will accept.
Note: The blade must also be sharp and clean.

3. Adjust the fence to the desired width of cut, and

lock it in place. (Support the ends of the board if
necessary.)

Because of its unpredicatable nature,
use extreme caution if cutting warped
stock. The difference between accept­able and unacceptable warped stock
varies from machine to machine. If
you are in doubt, square-up the stock
first or do not cut it.

NOTICE

The scale on the front rail will NOT be
accurate when using the resaw fence.

OPERATIONS

4. Turn the bandsaw ON.

5. Using push paddles and a push stick, maintain

workpiece pressure against the fence and table, and
slowly feed the workpiece into the moving blade
until the blade is completely through the workpiece
(see Figure 42).

Figure 42. Typical resawing operation.

-29-

Cutting Curves

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and turn the
stock carefully so the blade follows the layout line with­out twisting. If a curve is so abrupt that it is necessary to
repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, use a narrower
blade, a blade with more TPI (teeth per inch), or make
more relief cuts.

Relief cuts are made through the waste portion of the
workpiece and stop at the layout line. Relief cuts reduce
the chance that the blade will be pinched or twisted dur­ing the cut.

Stacked Cuts

One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to cut mul­tiple copies of a particular shape by stacking workpieces
together and cutting them as one. Before making stacked
cuts, ensure that both the table and the blade are prop­erly adjusted to 90°; otherwise, any error will be com­pounded.

To complete a stacked cut, do these steps:

The list below shows the minimum
radius that can be cut by common
blade widths.

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 in a manner that will
not interfere with the cutting. For wood, hot glue on

OPERATIONS

the edges works well, as do brad nails through the
waste portion. (Be careful not to cut into the brads
or you may break the blade!)

3. On the face of the top piece, mark the shape you
intend to cut.

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

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

Figure 44.

Blade Characteristics

(Wood Cutting)

Blade Length

Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually
unique to the brand of your bandsaw and the distance
between wheels. This saw uses 133" long blades.

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.

⁄8" to 11⁄4" in width. Always

• Curve Cutting: Use the chart in Figure 43 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.

• Straight Cutting: Use the largest width blade that
you own. Large blades excel at cutting straight lines
and are less prone to wander.

Tooth Style

Figure 45 illustrates the three main 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; these characteristics result in
very smooth cuts, but do not cut fast and generate
more heat than other types while cutting.

• 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.

OPERATIONS

styles.

-31-

Tooth Pitch

Usually measured as TPI (teeth per inch), tooth pitch
determines the size/number 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 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.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

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. Resin/pitch dissolving cleaners are excellent for
cleaning dirty blades.

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

OPERATIONS

blades must endure. 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:

• Faulty alignment/adjustment of the guides.

• Forcing/twisting a wide blade around a short radius.

• Feeding the workpiece too fast.

• Dull teeth or damaged tooth set.

• Overtensioned blade.

• Top blade guide assembly set too high above the
workpiece.

• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished
braze or weld.

• Continuously running the bandsaw when not in use.

• Leaving blade tensioned when not in use.

• Using the wrong TPI for the workpiece thickness.
(The general rule of thumb is three teeth in the
workpiece at all times.)

-32-

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Blade Selection

(Metal Cutting)

Selecting the right blade for the job depends on
a variety of factors, such as the type of mate­rial being cut, hardness of the material, material
shape machine capability, and operator tech­nique.

The chart below is a basic starting point for
choosing a blade type based on teeth per inch
(TPI) for variable tooth pitch blades and for
standard raker type bi-metal blades/HSS blades.
However, for exact specifications of bandsaw
blades, contact the blade manufacturer.

To select the correct blade TPI, do these steps:

1. Measure the material thickness.

2. Refer to the "Material Width/Diameter"
row of the blade selection chart in Figure
46 and read across to find the workpiece

thickness you need to cut.

3. Compare the "Material Shapes" row to the
material to be cut.

4. In the applicable row, read across to the
right and find the box where the row and
column intersect. Listed in the box is the
minimum TPI recommended for the vari­able tooth pitch blades.

5. The "Cutting Speed Rate Recommendation"
section of the charts offers guidelines for
various metals, given in feet per minute
(speed FPM) and meters per minute in
parenthesis. Choose the speed closest to
the number shown in the chart.

Blade Changes

To replace the blade, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Release the tension lever.

3. Remove the table insert and the table pin. Adjust

the upper and lower guide blocks away from the
blade.

4. Open the upper and lower wheel covers and slide
the blade off both wheels.

5. Rotate the blade 90˚ and slide it through the slot in

the table.

6. Slide the new blade through the table slot, ensuring
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.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

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

7. Slip the blade through the guides, and mount it over

the upper and lower wheels.

8. Apply tension.

9. Turn the tension knob until proper blade tension has

been reached according to the blade thickness scale
shown in Figure 47.

OPERATIONS

10. Check and adjust the tracking (Page 17).

11. Adjust the upper/lower guide blocks and the support
bearings (Pages 20 and 21).

12. Close the wheel covers.

13. Replace the table insert and table pin, being sure

not to use excessive force when inserting the table
pin.

All saw blades are dangerous and may
cause personal injury. To reduce the
risk of being injured, wear leather
gloves when handling saw blades.

Fence Scale Calibration

You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after chang­ing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale is not producing
accurate cuts. Recalibrate the fence scale by adjusting
the hairline indicator on the fence and testing your adjust­ment by cutting a piece of scrap wood.

To calibrate the scale, do these steps:

1. Set the fence anywhere along the scale and locate a

piece of scrap wood with at least one straight edge.

Note: Joint the edge with a jointer (if needed) to

make the edge straight.

2. Hold the straight edge of the workpiece firmly
against the fence, and feed the workpiece through
the saw blade with a push stick.

3. Measure the width of the cut workpiece. The width
of the workpiece should match the reading on the
fence scale.

4. If the reading on the scale is not the same as the
width of the cut workpiece, loosen the screw on
the magnifying window (Figure 48), and adjust it to
match the width of the cut workpiece.

5. Tighten the screw; the scale is now correctly cali­brated.

MAINTENANCE

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this
maintenance schedule:

Daily

• Check/correct loose mounting bolts.

• Check/correct damaged saw blade.

• Check/correct worn or damaged wires.

• Correct any other unsafe condition.

Monthly

• Check for V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

• Remove blade and thoroughly clean all built-up saw­dust from the rubber tires on the wheels.

• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and
off motor.

Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe
off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If resin
has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to
remove it.

Once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly
clean all built-up sawdust from the rubber tires
on the wheels.

Table & Base

As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the
wheels may need to be redressed if they harden
or glaze over. Redressing the rubber tires improves
blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.

If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade
tracking will become extremely difficult. At that
point, redressing will no longer be effective and
the rubber tires must be replaced.

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro­cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

Redressing Rubber

Tires

MAINTENANCE

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on
the table by wiping the table clean after every
use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does
not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep tables
rust-free with regular applications of general
lubricants such as G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®,
or Boeshield® T-9.

If the table becomes difficult to tilt, remove it
and lubricate the trunnions and the slides in the
trunnion base with a general lubricant.

To redress the rubber tires, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Put on heavy leather gloves.

3. Remove the blade.

4. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber

tires.

5. Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rub­ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand.
Only redress the rubber enough to expose a
fresh rubber surface.

Servicing V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transfer from the motor to the
blade, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate
under proper tension. Check belt tension at least every 3
months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily. V-belts
stretch with use and must be periodically re-tensioned.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all service proce­dures! If this warning is ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

Accessing V-Belts

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Remove the bandsaw blade.

3. Remove the lower wheel by removing the hex bolt at

the center of the wheel, then sliding the wheel off
the shaft. (The hex nut has left handed threads, so
you must turn it clockwise to loosen it.) You now have
access to the V-belts for inspection or service (see

Figure 49).

Checking V-Belts

1. Follow all previous instructions for Accessing V­Belts.

2. Push the center of each V-belt (Figure 50), using

moderate force. Deflection should be about

Shimming Table

To ensure accuracy when cutting stacked workpieces, the

table should be 90˚ to the back of the blade as shown in

Figure 53. If the table is not perpendicular to the back of
the blade, the table needs to be shimmed.

Shims can be made of any durable object that can be
sandwiched between the table and the trunnions. We rec­ommend using shim washers or shim stock because of the
wide range of available thicknesses. These items can be
purchased at your local hardware store.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Blade

Square

To shim the table, do these steps:

1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and

that it is correctly tensioned.

2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3. Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the trunnions

to the table.

4. Shim between the table and the two trunnions to
move the table in the desired direction.

5. Follow the Aligning Table instructions on Page 23 to
complete this procedure.

Blade Lead

"Blade Lead" means that the blade does not cut straight
when using the fence or miter gauge (see Figure 54). 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 setup correctly and lead
occurs, compensate for it by skewing the fence.

Table

Figure 53. Squaring table to blade back.

To correct blade lead, do the following steps and make
a test cut before skewing the fence:

1. Ensure that you have proper blade tension (refer to
Page 19).

2. Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted correctly

SERVICE

(refer to Pages 20 & 21).

3. Ensure that the miter slot or fence is parallel to the
blade (refer to Page 23).

Figure 54. Blade leading away from line of

cut.

-40-

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

To skew your fence, do these steps:

3

1. Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately
x 3" wide x 17" long. On a wide face of the board,
draw a straight line parallel to the long edge.

2. Slide the 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.

3. 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.

4. Loosen the two cap screws that mount the front rail
brackets to the table.

5. Shim between the front rail brackets and the table
as necessary to make the fence parallel to the edge
of the scrap piece.

⁄4" thick

To compensate for lead when making straight crosscuts
with the miter gauge, do these steps:

1. Set the miter gauge to 90° and verify that the gauge

body is square to the miter bar, using a 90° square.

2. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is per­pendicular to the front edge of the workpiece.

3. Starting where the line begins, cut the board by
pushing it through the blade with the miter gauge.

4. Loosen the table trunnion mounting bolts, and shift
the table to compensate for the blade lead.

5. Repeat Steps 1 & 2 until the blade cuts straight
when wood is pushed through with the miter gauge.

NOTICE

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

NOTICE

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

SERVICE

Wheel Alignment

When wheels are aligned, or coplanar, the bandsaw cuts
straighter, with much less vibration, heat, and blade wear
because the blade is automatically balanced on the wheel.

See Figure 55 to better understand coplanarity.

If your bandsaw develops tracking problems that can't be
fixed by adjusting the upper wheel tracking knobs, then
check the wheel alignment before taking any other steps.

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

Coplanar

Parallel, Not

Coplanar

Verifying Upper/Lower Wheels are Coplanar

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. With the blade on and properly tensioned, hold

a straightedge or a self-made "coplanarity gauge"
(Figure 55) close to the center of both wheels. Make
sure the straightedge or gauge fully extends across
the wheels as shown in Figure 55.

— If the wheels are coplanar, the straightedge will

evenly touch the top and bottom of both wheels.

— If the wheels are not coplanar, place the straight-

edge on the lower wheel first (ensuring that it
touches both the top and bottom rim), then adjust
the upper wheel tracking knob to make the upper
wheel parallel with the lower wheel.

— If the straightedge does not touch both wheels

evenly, the upper wheel needs to be shimmed or
the lower wheel needs to be adjusted.

3. With the straightedge touching both points of the
wheel that does not need to be adjusted, measure
the distance away from the incorrect wheel with a
fine ruler (see Figure 56).

4. Remove the blade from the saw, then remove the

SERVICE

wheel that needs to be shimmed.

5. Determine how many shim washers you need to com­pensate for the distance measured in Step 3 and
place them on the wheel shaft.

6. Replace the wheel, the original washers, and the
securing nut.

Figure 55. Coplanar diagram.

Figure 56. Measuring wheel difference.

-42-

Model M1113 (Mfg. Since 2/08)

7. Tighten the blade, then check the wheels. (Coplanar
wheels may pull out of alignment when the blade is
tightened.)

8. When the wheels are coplanar, place a mark on each
wheel where you held the straightedge. This assures
repeated accuracy every time you adjust your
wheels.

Note: When wheels are properly coplanar, the blade

may not be centered on the crown of the wheel, but
it will be balanced.

Adjusting Lower Wheel

Only do this procedure if you cannot make the wheels
coplanar with the tracking knob or by shimming the upper
wheel. Make sure the upper wheel is adjusted as close as
possible to being coplanar with the lower wheel before
beginning. Do this procedure with the blade fully ten­sioned.

To adjust the lower wheel, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Loosen the four hex bolts on the lower wheel adjust-
ment hub (Figure 57).

3. Rotate the wheel adjustment sleeves to tilt the

lower wheel as necessary to make it coplanar with
the upper wheel.

4. Tighten the hex bolts to lock the wheel adjustment
sleeves in position.
