The Model J-9180 bandsaw is equipped with a coolant system which can greatly extend blade life and speed the cutting of a variety of materials which are best cut with cutting fluids and coolants.
Figures 1 depicts the main features of the Model J-9180 Bandsaw. The machine consists of a Control Panel machine base onto which is installed a saw The control panel is mounted on the top of the head.
Do not use an abrasive pad. The Model J-9180 bandsaw is rated at 230V. Determine the final location for the saw and This machine is not supplied with a plug. Use a allow for a sufficient work space around it.
Controls and Indicators Control Panel The operating controls for the bandsaw are located on the control panel (Figure 4) and consist of the following controls and indicators: Emergency Stop Switch – by depressing this switch the user can quickly stop the machine when it is in operation;...
Hydraulic Feed Control Optional blades for specific applications are available from JET. (Refer to the Parts section The weight of the saw head provides the force for saw blade part numbers.) needed to cut through the workpiece. The cut-off...
Setting the Work Stop Referring to Figure 7: The work stop is an accessory that is included with the JET J-9180 Bandsaw. It is used to set up the saw for making multiple cuts of the same length. Do not allow the blade to rest on the workpiece when the saw is not cutting.
Miter Cuts Referring to Figure 9, the J-9180 bandsaw is capable of making angle cuts from 0–60º. The vise remains stationary while the saw head is adjusted as follows: 1. Place the saw head (F) in the raised position so the blade doesn't catch in the table slots.
Guide Bearing Adjustment Referring to Figure 12: Guide bearings are located on either side of the saw blade and provide stability for the blade when the saw is in operation. These bearings rotate on an eccentric shaft so the distance from the blade can be adjusted for optimal performance.
15. Limit Switch Adjustment Refer to Figure 14. The J-9180 bandsaw should shut off automatically when a cut is completed. If not, the limit switch (A) located below the control panel (Figure 1) probably needs to be adjusted as follows: Disconnect the cut-off saw from its electrical power source.

Cleaning Coolant Clean off any preservative on machine surfaces. Change coolant on a frequency appropriate to the type of coolant being used. Oil based After cleaning: coolants can sour. Refer to the coolant supplier’s instructions for change frequency. 1. Coat machined surfaces of the cutoff saw with a medium consistency machine oil.
Troubleshooting Fault Probable Cause Suggested remedy 1. Material loose in vise. 1. Clamp work securely. 2. Incorrect speed or feed. 2. Check Machinist’s Handbook for speed/feed appropriate material being cut. 3. Teeth too coarse for material. 3. Check Machinist’s Handbook for recommended blade type.
Troubleshooting Fault Probable Cause Suggested remedy 1. Blade speed too high for feed 1. Reduce blade speed feed pressure. pressure. Bad cuts (rough) 2. Blade is too coarse. 2. Replace with finer blade. 1. Blade is binding in the cut. 1.
