The Wilton 7020/7040 does not return to its position because the hydraulic cylinder offers no resistance when the saw head is raised upward. It only resists downward movement.
General Specifications The Wilton Models 7020/7040 Horizontal Cut-Off Bandsaws are ruggedly built, precision machines de- signed for either wet or dry applications. The 2 HP motor along with the worm gear reduction drive train in Specifications Capacity 10" Round 10" x 10" Square 9"...
Read and follow these simple rules for best results and full benefits from your machine. Used properly, Wilton’s machinery is among the best in design and safety. However, any machine used improperly can be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is absolutely mandatory that those who use our products be properly trained in how to use them correctly.
General Electrical Cautions This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from electrical shock. Conductor Length 0 - 50 Feet 50 - 100 Feet...
Introduction This manual includes the operating and maintenance instructions for the Wilton 10-inch by 16-inch Cut Off Band Saw, Models 7020/7040. This manual also in- cludes parts listings and illustrations of replaceable parts. Operating Instructions Controls The operating controls for the saw are provided in a control panel on the left side of the machine.
A 4/6 vari tooth bi-metal blade (5674011) and a 6/10 vari tooth bi-metal blade (5674021) are available from Wilton. See Setting Blade Speed for the speeds recom- Saw Head Feed Rate mended for various materials.
Consult the blade manufacturer’s literature for break-in of specific blades on specific materials. However, the following proce- dure will be adequate for break-in of Wilton-supplied blades on lower alloy ferrous materials. 1. Clamp a round section workpiece in the vise. The workpiece should be 2 inches or larger in diameter.

Coolant Flow CAUTION: THE COOLANT PUMP MUST BE SUB- MERGED BEFORE OPERATING TO PREVENT DAM- AGE TO THE PUMP. 1. The blade guides are fitted with coolant fittings. Coolant is provided to the fittings through intercon- necting tubing. The coolant is dispensed directly onto the saw blade.
the wheel shoulder. Put a 6-inch length of paper between the blade and the wheel as shown in figure 11. The paper should not be cut as it passes be- tween the wheel shoulder and the blade. 9. Turn the single hex adjustment screw a small amount. Repeat the insertion of the paper between the wheel shoulder and the blade until the paper is cut in two pieces.
the center locking screw with an Allen wrench (see figure 12). 4. Position the bearing by turning the bushing. Set the clearance at approximately 0.001 inch. (The blade should be in a vertical position between the bearings. (See figure 13.) 5.
1. Ball bearings: the bearings are lubricated and sealed—periodic lubrication is not required. 2. Blade guide bearing: the bearings are lubricated and sealed—lubrication is not required. Inspect periodically. 3. Idler wheel bushing: the bearings are lubricated and sealed—lubrication is not required. Inspect periodically.
Threaded Figure 16: Counterbalance spring adjustment used to adjust the amount of down force the saw head puts on the workpiece when the feed rate control valve is fully open. 1. Raise the saw arm to its full upright position and lock it in position.
Refer to Figure 18.1. 1. Remove the cap screw and remove the carbide guide. Discard the carbide guide. 2. Install the replacement carbide guide on the guide bearing support. Install the cap screw. Set the guide so it just contacts the side of the saw blade. 3.
Observe the following when connecting to the power source. (The cut-off saw wiring diagrams are pro- vided in Figures 21 and 22.) WARNING: WILTON RECOMMENDS THAT ANY WIR- ING INVOLVING HARD WIRING OF THE SAW TO A BRANCH, OR ANY CHANGE OF VOLTAGE SUPPLIED TO THE MOTOR BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

Troubleshooting Fault Excessive blade breakage Premature blade dulling Bad cuts (out-of-square) Bad cuts (rough) Probable cause 1. Material loose in vise. 2. Incorrect speed or feed. 3. Teeth too coarse for material. 4. Incorrect blade tension. 5. Saw blade is in contact with workpiece before the saw is started.
Troubleshooting 1. Blade is binding in the cut. Blade is twisting 2. Blade tension too high. 1. Blade guides worn 2. Blade guide bearings not adjusted. Unusual wear on 3. Blade guide bearing bracket is side/back of blade 1. Blade tooth pitch too coarse for 2.
