6 MAKE PROPER TOOTH SELECTION For maximum cutting efficiency and lowest cost per cut, it is important to select the blade with the right number of teeth per inch (TPI) for the material being cut. The material size and shape dictate tooth selection.
EXAMPLE: 4”(100mm) outside diameter, 3”(75mm) inside diameter tubing. 4”(100mm) OD =12.5 sq.ln. (79cm 3”(75 mm ) ID = 7.0 sq.ln. (44cm Area = 5.5 sq.ln. (35cm 5.5 sq.ln. (35cm ) / 4” (100mm) distance =1.38(35mm) average width 1.38” (35mm), use a 4/6 Vari-Tooth NOTE: The band speed and cutting rate recommendations presented on this chart are approximations and are to be used as a starting point for most applications.
TELLTALE CHIPS Chips are the best indicator of correct feed force. Monitor chip information and adjust feed accordingly. Thin or powdered chips – increase feed rate or reduce band speed. Burned heavy chips – reduce feed rate and/or band speed. Curly silvery and warm chips –...

When target angle is 45 degree, the saw bow will only move between the 45 degrees and minus 45 degrees, won’t over this degree. (This Max angle setting of RF-500DSA is 60 degree and minus 60 degree.

Cutting complete Saw blade stop Saw bow up to the limit Vise open work piece released. 10 ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF LIMIT SWITCH An automatic shut-off limit switch is provided to stop the motor when the cut is completed.
12 CHANGING SAW BLADE SPEEDS This machine is available for variable speed selection. Speed range is 32~96MPM (Fig,4). When changing the speed, turn the speed dial (A) watch the LED (B), select the desired speed ** Please refer to TPI and saw blade speed selection chart in this manual, for the reference of cutting relative work piece and material with proper feeding.
15 ADJUSTING FEED RATE When the feed rate control knob is turned clockwise as far as it will go the saw frame will not move down, but it can be raised to the up position. By turning the feed rate control knob counter clockwise, the flow of oil from the cylinder is regulated and determines the speed at which the saw frame will lower and the blade will feed through the work.
17 OPERATING CUTTING ANGLE AND ADJUSTING VISE The swivel angle is positioned every 15 degrees. The cutting slot Fig,10(A) on working table is in 45 and 60 degrees angle. But you can cut at any angle with reference of the angle scaleFig,11(A). If you are cutting in the multiples of 15 degrees, please operate as follows: Move the swivel lock handle Fig,11(B) to the right...
18 COOLANT The use of proper cutting fluid is essential to obtain max-imum efficiency from a band saw blade. The main cause of tooth failure is excessive heat build-up. This is the reason that cutting fluid is necessary for long blade life and high cutting rates.
3. The blade guide bearings are to introduce saw blade into vertical position. The bearing shaft on user side is an adjustable eccentric, when the other side is a non-adjustable concentric. When adjusting, loosen the bolt (G), turn the sleeve (H) clockwise by wrench, bring the bearing surface close to saw blade surface.
22 GEAR BOX The gear box should be drained and refilled after the first 50 hours of use and thereafter every 5 months, with mobile synthetic gear oil, SHC-636, ISO viscosity grade 680. this oil meets or exceeds American gear manufacturers association (A.G.M.A.) #8 compounded cylinder oil specifications.
23 SAW BLADE BRUSH SETTING (Fig.22) The brush is to remove the chip on the saw blade tooth. Place the brush to touch the blade 3~5 mm in depth. Normally, a large number of chips will be sitting under the brush. Cleaning timely is necessary, to ensure the function of the brush cleaning, and to prevent the unnecessary damage by steel chip going into the saw blade wheel.
26 VISE CLAMPING PRESSURE SETTING This machine provides adjustable vise clamping pressure, convenience for clamping workpieces of different materials, particularly the easily deformed tubes. To adjust the pressure, loosen the upper bolt (A)Fig.26, turn the lower knob. Watch the changing of the pressure volume on the meter. Select the smallest material deformation with the proper clamping pressure.
