  • Page 26: Machine Setup And Adjustments

    MACHINE SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS Blade Changing Blade changes are periodically required when they become worn or to match the properties of varying materials. 1. Disconnect power to the machine. 2. Make certain the cutting head is locked in the vertical position. 3.

  • Page 27: Blade Tracking Adjustment

    8. Slide the blade on the wheels so the back edge of the blade is approximately 1/32" from the back flange of the wheel. Check the teeth on the portion of the blade between the upper and lower blade guides to see that they point down toward the table.

  • Page 28: Saw Bow Tilt Adjustment

    Saw Bow Tilt Adjustment The cutting head is adjustable to make angled cuts from -45° to +45°. Be sure the upper blade guide will clear any obstructions on the table before adjusting the cutting head angle. Detents are at each 15°. 1.
  • Page 29 8. Rotate the gib lock to lock the gib. The leadscrew will now be captured to allow for the handwheel to crank clamping pressure. 9. Make sure the work piece is secure before continuing. The work piece can be undamped by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise.

  • Page 30: Feeding Stroke

    Feeding Stroke The cutting head can be fed forward or backward manually by rotating the feed handle counterclockwise or clockwise, respectively. The saw also can be fed forward automatically by adjusting the feed force knob clockwise until the desired feed is obtained. The stops will set a forward travel limit which will stop the blade and retract the saw bow to the start position.

  • Page 31: Blade Speed Adjustment

    Blade Speed Adjustment 1. Always set the feed force (A) to "O" before adjusting the blade speed. 2. The blade speed readout (B) on the control panel displays the blade speed in surface feet per minute. Choice of blade speed depends on the type and thickness of metal being cut. Refer to the chart below for recommended blade speeds.

  • Page 32: Coolant Flow

    Coolant flow Coolant is applied to the blade at the upper blade guide where a valve regulates the amount of flow to the blade. To enable or disable the coolant flow, set the coolant switch to "I" (ON) or "O" (OFF). GuidePost The guidepost assembly serves two purposes.

  • Page 36: Blade Terminology

    Blade Terminology The widest part of the blade measured from the back edge of the BLADE WIDTH blade to the tip of the tooth. GULLET DEPTH The distance from the tooth tip to the bottom of the curved area. The angle of the tooth face from a line perpendicular to the length TOOTH RAKE of the blade.

  • Page 37: Blade Structure

    Blade structure Bi-metal blades are the most commonly used. They consist of a silicon-steel blade backing by a laser welded high speed steel (HHS) cutting edge. The type of stocks are classified in M2, M42, M51 and differ from each other because of their major hardness due to the increasing percentage of Cobalt (Cc) and molybdenum (Mo) contained in the metal alloy.

  • Page 38: Sets

    COMBO TOOTH: 9° - 10° positive rake. This type of blade is the most suitable for the cutting of section bars and large and thick pipes as well as for the cutting of solid bars at maximum machine capacity. Available pitches: 3-4/4-6. SETS Saw teeth bent out of the plane of the saw body, resulting in a wide cut in the workpiece.

  • Page 39: Blade Care

    BLADE CARE The bandsaw blade is subjected to a tremendous amount of strain. Make sure to always use the appropriate feed rate for the type material you are cutting. Be sure to select a blade of the proper width, style, and pitch that will produce the best cut in your material.

  • Page 41: Blade Breakage

    BLADE BREAKAGE In some cases blade breakage is unavoidable due to the stresses that are imparted on the blade. Avoidable breakage is often the result of poor care, or poor operator judgment when it comes to adjusting or mounting the blade or blade guides. Listed below are some of the more common reasons for blade breakage.

  • Page 44 5. Determine the angle of the cut. Use the lock lever to loosen the saw bow and manually tilt the bow from 45° left tilt to 45° right tilt. Never rely solely on the scale markers for the correct tilt angle. Always verify the angle with a protractor. 6.

  • Page 45: Causes Of Inaccurate Cutting

    Causes of Inaccurate Cutting • Worn or mis-adjusted blade brush. • Dull blade. • Debris under the stock being cut. • Incorrect feed rate or feed pressure settings or excessive or rapid adjusting of these settings while the cut is being made. IMPORTANT: Do not allow excessive metal chips to buildup in the pan.
  • Page 46 CUTTING RATE CONTROL Cutting rate is defined as the number of square inches of material cut in a minute. The cutting rate is influenced by your choice of bandsaw blade, your cutting fluid, the blade speed selected, the feed pressure selected, the feed rate selected as well as the size, shape and machinability of the material you are cutting.
  • Page 47 Once the feed pressure has been set, you should then set the feed rate. The location on the operator’s control panel of the machine. This control regulates the maximum speed at which the blade will move forward under a given pressure. In general, this should be set to move at a rate of 7 to 10 linear inches of travel when there is no material in the saw.

  • Page 48: Lubrication And Maintenance

    LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. The maintenance jobs are listed below, divided into daily, weekly, and monthly intervals. If the following operations are neglected, the result will be premature wear of the machine and poor performance.

  • Page 49: Lubrication

    Lubrication AII ball bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed. They require no further lubrication. Hydraulic Oil / System The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and must lubricate the running parts of the pump. 1. Use hydraulic oil #68 SHELL BRAND or an equivalent with similar specifications. 2.

  • Page 50: Bow Tilt Tension Adjustment

    Bow Tilt Tension Adjustment The springs used to assist with tilting the saw bow may be adjusted to provide more or less tension to help support the saw bow during the tilting function. To much tension may prevent the bow from tilting to the full angle.
