    Cut parts are not square. shown in “Blade square adjustment”, p.59 Cut quality is poor See Appendix A: “Factors Affecting Cut Quality”. TigerSaw 1000 Crayon Marking Troubleshooting Problem Solution TigerSaw is not seeing crayon marks or not see- Adjust the UV and IR sensors as shown in ing the stock.

  • Page 61: Appendix A: Factors Affecting Cut Quality

    Appendix A: Factors Affecting Cut Quality The quality of your cut can vary from superb to poor depending on many factors. If your TigerSaw cut quality is poor, there are many places to look for the cause of this problem. Sometimes the cause of inferior cut quality is quite simple.
  • Page 62 Another cause of overheating can be a dull blade. Keep the saw blade clean and sharp. TigerStop recommends only using TigerStop specified saw blades. Saw bed and throat plate The throat plate must be perfectly flush and level with the saw bed. The TigerSaw throat plate is very slightly thinner than the depth of the recess for it.
  • Page 63 Throat plate bevel There is a bevel in the throat plate slot on the out feed side of the saw. This prevents the leading edge of bowed or warped material from catch- ing on the slot. However, for some materials, this bevel can be too great and work against precise cut quality, due to waste getting caught in it.
  • Page 64 gauge between the square and saw blade in several places. Factory testing revealed a gap at any point along the saw blade of less than .003” in both directions. For instructions on squaring the saw blade see “Adjustment Points” on page 50. Saw collet The saw collet has a specific orientation and must be mounted on the flange in that orientation.
  • Page 65 When replacing bearings be sure to replace them with bearings obtained from TigerStop. Replace- ment with bearings of a different make or standard can cause poor saw performance and mechanical failure. The tightness of the inner and outer races will affect saw cut quality. The arbor shaft thickness determines the tightness of the inner race, the inner diameter of the housing and the tightness of the outer race.
