    Installing/Changing Blades Always wear gloves when handling blades. New blades are usually packaged in a coiled position; to prevent injury uncoil them slowly and carefully, while wearing gloves and safety glasses. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Decrease blade tension by rotating blade tension handwheel (A, Figure 14) according to the arrow direction in Figure 14, until the handwheel stops.

  • Page 17: Blade Tracking

    Changes in blade width and the type of material being cut will have an effect on blade tension. Keep in mind that too little or too much blade tension can cause blade breakage and/or poor cutting performance. TIP: When the band saw is not being used, slightly release the tension on the blade –...

    Brake Pedal An alternate method of stopping the machine is to press the brake pedal, shown in Figure 29. The band saw will shut off when the brake pedal is pressed. The brake pedal is also useful for stopping the blade quickly, instead of waiting for the blade to coast slowly to a stop after the machine has been shut off.

  • Page 23: Ripping

    Ripping Ripping cutting lengthwise down workpiece, and with the grain (of wood stock). See Figure 31. Crosscutting Crosscutting is cutting across the grain of the workpiece, while using the miter gauge to feed the workpiece into the blade. Slide the bar of the miter gauge into the end of the slot on the table.

  • Page 24: Blade Selection

    If replacement of the blade is not currently an option, the blade lead can be compensated for by skewing the fence. Proceed as follows: 1. Cut a scrap piece of wood about the same length as the band saw table, and joint one edge along its length, or rip it on a table saw to give it a straight edge.

  • Page 25: Width

    Width Band saw blades come in different standard widths, measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the tooth. Generally, wider blades are used for ripping or making straight cuts, such as resawing. Narrower blades are often used when the part being cut has curves with small radii.

  • Page 26: Set

    The term “set” refers to the way in which the saw teeth are bent or positioned. Bending the teeth creates a kerf that is wider than the back of the blade. Set patterns are usually selected depending upon the type of material that needs to be cut. Three common set patterns are shown in Figure Generally, the Raker set is used for cutting metal workpieces;...
