Slide the motor until mounting hole[...]

14 Mounting Table The table is secured to the bandsaw by two trunnions mounted to its bottom surface. These, in turn, have threaded studs that work to lock the table’s angle with respect to the blade. In order to mount the table, you must first mount the trunnion support. Secure the trunnion support with the (2) 5 ⁄ 16 "-18 x 1 1 ⁄ 4 &qu[...]

The rails are fastened to the front and back edges of the table with 4 socket head cap screws and spacer sleeves. The fence is most often used between the bla[...]

16 ADJUSTMENTS Location of Controls Take the time to familiarize yourself with the controls of your new bandsaw. They will be fre- quently mentioned throughout the instructions in this manual, and the better you know your machine, the better you can make it perform. Figures 24, 25 and 26 point out the key con- trols and their locations. Figure 25. [...]

17 Speed Changes Figure 27. Diagram of speed options. Figure 28. Speed pulley (lower wheel removed for clarity). The speed diagram in Figure 27 is included to help illustrate belt positions necessary to pro- duce the available speeds. Select the proper speed for the job at hand and move the belts to the desired location. There are three factors in [...]

18 Figure 30. Sliding blade through table slot. Figure 29. Removing table insert. To remove the blade: 1. Remove the table insert as in Figure 29 . 2. Pull out the steel pin at the end of the blade slot in the table. 3. Loosen the guide blocks by turning the thumbscrews counterclockwise and retract guide blocks away from the blade. 4. Lift the tens[...]

19 Blade Tension Figure 31. Checking blade deflection. Blade tension is one of the most critical factors in the performance of your bandsaw. The blade must be tight enough so it does not sway during a cut, yet stay flexible enough to bend around the wheels. Many factors determine the ideal tension for every situation. For example, consider the widt[...]

20 Tracking Figure 32. Blade centered on wheel. Tracking the blade means positioning it on the wheels so it will not come off during operation. This is usually done by adjusting the tilt of the upper wheel. Blade tracking is one of the most important adjustments you can make for optimal perfor- mance of your bandsaw. A properly tracked blade produc[...]

21 Wheel Alignment Figure 34. Checking for coplanarity. Figure 33. Dimensions of coplanarity gauge. Wheel alignment is one of the most critical fac- tors for optimal performance from your bandsaw. Heat, vibration, wandering, blade wear, tire wear and overall bandsaw wear are considerably decreased when the wheels are properly aligned or “coplanar[...]

6. If the wheels will go parallel but not copla- nar, then move the lower wheel at the adjustment hub ( Figure 35) as necessary. 7. The adjustment hub allows you to move the lower wheel in the desired direction. Turning all the bolts clockwise in equal amounts pushes the wheel forward. Turning all the bolts counterclockwise brings the wheel backwar[...]

23 Blade Guides In order to stabilize the blade during use, it is important that the guide blocks and rear support bearings are monitored and adjusted regularly for optimum blade life and high quality cuts. The rear support bearings keep the blade straight during a cut. They also protect the blade from being pushed too far back. When the blade puts[...]

24 Figure 39. Guide block position on blade. Figure 40. Guide block position on blade. The upper and lower guide blocks reduce side-to- side blade wander during cutting. Proper adjust- ment of these will also minimize heat and increase blade life. To adjust the guide blocks: 1. Find the thumbscrews that allow the guide- block pair to slide back and[...]

25 Table Adjustments Figure 41. Positive stop with lock nut. Figure 42. Squaring table to blade. Figure 43. Pointer set to zero. The table can be adjusted 45° to the right or 10° to the left. There is a positive stop bolt ( Figure 41 ) that mounts to the body, under the table. When adjusted correctly, this allows you to bring your table back to s[...]

26 Table Adjustments Cont. Figure 45. Squaring miter slot to blade. Figure 44. Six trunnion bolts under table. It is important to verify that the miter gauge slot is parallel to the blade. This will ensure straight cuts when using your miter gauge and the fence. To make the miter gauge slot parallel with the blade: 1. Install the largest blade you [...]

27 Fence Adjustments There are two knobs on the fence. 1. The long handle to the side of the fence allows you to clamp (turning clockwise) the rear of the fence. See Figure 46. 2. The smaller knob below the rear lock knob is the front knob. This locks (also turning clockwise) the front of the fence in place. 3. When each knob has been loosened (tur[...]

Figure 47. This rip cut illustrates excessive blade lead. 28 Blade Lead An inherent situation with all bandsaws is their tendency to not cut parallel to the fence, even when the fence seems parallel to the blade. Figure 47 demonstrates the effect blade lead can have on your workpiece. This problem is usually caused by three main factors: 1. The tee[...]

29 OPERATIONS Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start the machine. Make sure the starting switch is off. The pad- dle down means the machine is off. Make sure all the fasteners and lock handles are tight. Plug in the power cord. Pull the START paddle. Make sure that your finger is poised over [...]

30 Ripping Crosscutting Figure 49. Ripping a board. Figure 50. Crosscutting a board. Always wear safety glasses when operating the bandsaw. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury. “Ripping” means cutting along the grain of the wood. This is generally accomplished by using the fence of the bandsaw as a guide to make a straight c[...]

31 Figure 51. Minimum radii for blade widths. Figure 52. Relief cuts before cutting curves. Cutting Curves The ability to cut curves is one of the most use- ful things a bandsaw can accomplish. However, when cutting curves you need to be careful not to twist the blade, especially when cutting tight curves. The chart in Figure 51 will help you in de[...]

32 Always wear safety glass- es when operating the bandsaw. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury. Stacked Cuts Another useful operation for the bandsaw is making stacked cuts. See Figure 54. These cuts provide uniformity to multiple pieces. To make stacked cuts: 1. Line up and secure the multiple pieces together. Screws or brads [...]

33 Blade Selection Figure 55. Types of blade teeth. Blade Width As a general rule, large blades provide more support for thick stock and allow you to cut straighter. Small blades provide maximum con- trol for cutting tight curves, but are not a good choice for cutting straight cuts and do not have the strength for thick stock. Medium blades are exc[...]

34 MAINTENANCE Lubrication Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. For other items on this machine, such as the guide column, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust. Your g[...]

35 Maintenance Notes Maintenance Schedule • Every 2 Hours of Running Time: Clean and lubricate table top, miter slot and fence. • Every 3 Hours of Running Time: Check blade tracking, guide column and table-to-blade. Check gap on guide blocks and thrust bearings. Check blade tension. • Every 5 Hours of Running Time: Oil guide post with light m[...]
