  • Page 16: Bundle Setup Instructions

    Bundle Setup Instructions Bundle Support Table The Bundle Support Table should be positioned in front of the SpeedCut, with the uppermost pair of tubes running perpendicular to the saw blade. It is important to place the tube bundle so the centerline of the bundle is aligned with the centerline of the Bundle Support Table.

  • Page 17: Operating Instructions

    Operating Instructions Fill the MQL Lubrication System container to the 70 oz. line with the provided Advanced Metalworking Lubricant. For additional lubricant, contact Elliott Tool Technologies. For initial operation, check hydraulic oil levels and add oil as needed. Set Frame Limits if necessary. See page 18 for instructions.
  • Page 18 Operating Instructions (cont.) In case of excessive feed during operation, the tension of the spring is quickly overcome. The excessive pressure on the blade raises the stem linkage that operates the blade micro switch which closes the solenoid valve. This stops the downward travel of the saw frame. As the cutting action of the blade removes material to relieve this excessive pressure, the micro switch will function and open the solenoid valve for an instant until pressure again becomes excessive.
  • Page 19 Blade Instructions When correct feed is being employed, the blade will cut steadily and the micro switch will function occasionally to open and close the solenoid valve. The yellow FEED ON light on the top of the control box indicates that the saw is feeding. When the solenoid valve closes, the light goes out. After a correct feed has been established, the position of the cutting speed control dial should be noticed, and this location maintained while cutting similar size and type material.

  • Page 20: Blade Information

    Blade Instructions (cont.) Replacing Bandsaw Blade Ensure the proper protective gear is being worn (gloves, safety glasses, etc.) when changing the blade. Open the bandwheel covers and open the rear blade cover. Cut old blade and remove from SpeedCut. Carefully unwind the new blade with the assistance of a second person. Insert new blade by lowering over the Clamping System (optional) and setting in place.

  • Page 21: General Information

    General Information CAUTION Do NOT grease upright posts! The cutting frame, of the SpeedCut is raised and lowered by the hydraulic unit in the base. Working in conjunction with this assembly are the electrical units composed of the control cabinet, front mounted controls, limit switches, blade micro switch, pump motor, and blade drive motor.

  • Page 22: Notes On Sawing

    The factors affecting cutting performance are: the blade, tooth pitch, the work/size of material being cut, blade speed and feed. Contact Elliott for assistance with selecting the proper blade for sawing jobs. All blades should be straight, have sharp teeth, and be “broken in” to obtain good cutting performance and blade life.
  • Page 23 Notes on Sawing (cont.) Blade Force Limit (Spring Loaded Blade Micro-Switch) Blade Force Limit is set by the knob on the Guide Arm. This sets a spring force on the blade back-up bearing to interrupt excessive frame feed, and is indicated by the LED light blinking off during a cut. A setting of “3”...
