As a rule, the greater the spring compression, the greater button the tension on the blade. The tension scale does not register until the blade is relatively taut and is located on the inside of the body of the bandsaw.
  • Page 16 8. Blade guide adjustment hand wheel. The upper blade guides are attached to the blade guide shaft. The shaft is vertically adjustable with a hand wheel. The guides should be adjusted so the guides are just above the wood being cut. This gives the blade maximum stability and is also the safest way to operate the bandsaw.
  • Page 17 14. Optional mobility kit. Swivel wheel assembly The optional mobility kit is fitted to the base of the bandsaw and consists of two fixed wheels at the front of the bandsaw and a swivel wheel at the back of the band saw. The swivel wheel is activated and deactivated with a foot lever.

  • Page 21 Tilt blanking disc Table tilt hole Tilt stop bolt Tilt blanking disc The table has a reference stop bolt that is used to quickly align the table after tilting. The stop bolt hits the tilt-blanking disc when it is positioned over the table tilt hole. When the tilt blanking disc is moved away from the hole, it allows the tilt stop bolt to pass through the table tilt hole, and the table can be moved to the maximum amount of tilt (-7 degrees).

  • Page 27 Before starting the bandsaw. Read and understand the instruction manual before operating the saw. 1. If you are still not thoroughly familiar with the operation of the bandsaw, get advice from a qualified person. 2. Make sure the machine is properly grounded and that the wiring codes are followed. 3.
  • Page 28 Fitting a blade to the bandsaw. A lot of people do not like to change the blades and go to great lengths to avoid doing it. To use the bandsaw to its greatest advantage, you will have to use the appropriate blade and track it quickly.
  • Page 29 8. Open the blade guard door. Slide the blade over the top flywheel and feed through the slot at the side of the vertical column. Then feed the blade into the blade guard slot and close the blade guard door. 9.
  • Page 30 Note. Tensioning the blade is covered later in the manual. 2. Refit the plastic blanking block. Note: The blade must be fully tensioned for final tracking. Note: Never track the blade with the saw running. Note. There is a window on the side of the bandsaw that Blade tension wheel allows the blade on the upper flywheel to be viewed.

  • Page 34: Safety Rules

    Lower blade guide. Guide locking screws The lower blade guides have two locking screws that, when released, allow the guide assembly to be moved forward and back. Rotate the blade by hand and ensure that it is tracking consistently in the correct position. Loosen the side guides and move out from the blade.
  • Page 35 This can be overcome to a great degree by using the Resaw king blade from Laguna. The blade has many of advantages such as superior surface finish to the cut, thin kerf (low wood waste), it can be re-sharpened, will cut hard woods and has a long life.
  • Page 36 is the angle of drift, and you will have to set the fence to the pencil line. 4. To adjust the fence, loosen the clamp bolts that attach it to the cast bracket. Move the fence so that it lines up with the pencil mark on the table and retighten the clamp screws. Method 2.
  • Page 37 Table rule Adjustment slot Fence position. Fence in low position Fence in high position The aluminum fence can be used in two height positions (high and low). The low position is handy for cutting thin wood and is used where the fence in the high position would make it awkward to complete cuts.
  • Page 38 Resawing. Resawing is the process of cutting a board in half along its height. The bandsaw is perhaps the most creative tool in the shop because of its ability to cut thick or thin, straight or curved. The ability to cut thick stock such as re-sawing, making veneers, book matching or cutting flitches from small logs has great appeal to the woodworker.
  • Page 39 advantage if you are cutting a job that has a tendency to nip the blade. The smaller the set, the smaller the saw cut and the larger the radius that can be cut; the wood waste is less. On tipped blades (Resaw King) there is no set, as the tip is wider than the backing material. Thickness.
  • Page 40 Width. The dimension from the back of the blade to the front of the teeth. The wider the blade, the stiffer the blade and the straighter the cut. This is usually called beam strength. But wide blades cannot cut small radiuses. The narrower the blade, the more flexible the blade and the greater the tendency the blade has to wander.
  • Page 41 With most guide systems it is recommended that the back of the blade be rounded with a stone. As the machine is supplied with Laguna ceramic guides, this is not imperative because the ceramic will round the back of the blade as it is used. However, if you decide that you want to round the back of the blade, a procedure follows.
  • Page 42 4. After use it is recommended that you slacken the tension, especially overnight. (Be sure to place a clearly visible note on the machine that you have done this. 5. Misalignment of the flywheels. 6. Irregularity of flywheel surface, for instance, an accumulation of sawdust while cutting resinous materials.
  • Page 43 would work for a particular curve, place a dime (roughly 5/8") over the pattern. The 3/16" blade can cut a curve bigger than the dime, but not smaller. You can use everyday items such as coins or a pencil to determine which blade to use. A quarter is the size of the tightest cut that can be made with a 1/4"...
  • Page 44 Step 1 Step 2 Done Step 3 Note: In order to show the hand/thumb position of the man in the photographs, he is not wearing gloves, but gloves MUST BE WORN as the blade could cause injury.
  • Page 45 Method Two. There is another variation of this that works well with small blades but simply is not possible for larger bandsaw blades, unless you're very big and strong. This method works the same as the method above, but rather than holding the blade with both hands, grasp the blade at the top while holding the bottom of the blade with your foot (teeth still facing away from you).
  • Page 46 Method Three. The steering wheel method. Start with the blade in front of you, as if you're holding a steering wheel with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. Simultaneously twist your left hand up and your right hand down. As the blade starts to fold, move your hands closer together while tilting your left hand to the right and your right hand to the left.

  • Page 47: Maintenance

    Maintenance. All tools and machines require regular maintenance, and the bandsaw is no exception. This section details the general maintenance and care of your bandsaw. In general, we recommend that you only use a Teflon-based lubricant on the bandsaw. While regular oil attracts dust and dirt, Teflon tends to dry and has fewer tendencies to accumulate dirt and sawdust on your machine.
  • Page 48 Replacing the drive belt. Drive belt adjusting bolt Motor drive pulley Drive belt Flywheel shaft nut To replace the belts you will have to remove the lower flywheel. 1. Loosen the motor clamp bolts and move the motor so that the tension is completely removed from the drive belt.
  • Page 49 Rust. The bandsaw is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not protected. It is recommended that the table be protected by coating with wax if the machine is not in constant use. All moving non-painted surfaces (guides, rack and pinion, etc.) should be lubricated/protected with a Teflon-based lubricant.
  • Page 50 Adjusting the table square to the bandsaw blade. Note. The machine is set in the factory and no adjustment should be required but during transportation movement may occur. To access the adjustment screws, you will have to tilt the table up to 45 degrees and lock in position.

    bolt to pass through the table tilt hole, and the table can be moved to the maximum amount of tilt (-7 degrees). To adjust the table square to the blade. 1. Check that the stop bolt is in contact with the tilt-blanking disc. 2.
  • Page 52 2. Internal breaker faulty. Replace the breaker. Motor tries to start but will not turn. 1. With the power disconnected from the machine, open the doors and try to turn the wheel by hand. If the wheel is not turning, check the reason for the jamming. Typical reasons are: guides too tight, wood jammed in the wheel.
  • Page 53 The blade makes a clicking noise. Bad weld. Dress the weld or change the blade. Blade overheats. 1. Dull blade. Change the blade or resharpen the blade. 2. Pitch is too small for the depth of cut. Change to a blade with the correct pitch. 3.
