    Adjustments Vise There are two sets of holes in the bed to mount the right jaw. The inner hole and slot (A, Figure 10) are used for miter cuts. The outer hole and slot (B, Figure 10) are used for square, or 90° cuts.
  • Page 12: Miter Cuts

    Setting Downfeed Rate The downfeed rate of the blade is important to band saw performance. Excessive pressure of blade against the workpiece may break the blade or stall the saw. In contrast, insufficient pressure rapidly dulls the blade. Turn valve lever counterclockwise to lower the bow.
  • Page 13: Setting Blade Speed

    Excessive rubbing will damage the wheel and/or the blade. 4. Start the saw. Turn the set screw (Figure 14) to tilt the idler wheel until the blade is touching the shoulder of the idler wheel.

    Material chips or shavings are the best indicator of proper blade speed and downfeed rate. The ideal chip is thin, tightly curled and warm to the touch. Chips that range from golden brown to black indicate excessive force. Blue chips indicate extreme heat from too high a blade speed, which will shorten blade life.

    Blade Replacement A general-use variable-tooth blade is provided with this metal cutting band saw. Additional blades can be used and are available from your JET distributor. The choice of blade pitch is governed by the thickness of the work to be cut: the thinner the workpiece, the more teeth advised.
