3.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
The selection of an appropriate saw blade and cutting method is important in cutting the
work safely and efficiently. Select an appropriate saw blade and cutting method by hlly considering
the work to be cut and the requirements of your job (such as cutting accuracy, cutting speed, time, and
safety).
Cutting method
If you choose dry cutting and low speed of saw blade, the chips may accumulate in machine parts and
-
m&
cause the okration or insulation failure of the machine. 1 n most circumstances, we suggest you
choose wet cutting to avoid machine damage. For a better understanding on cutting, please refer to
sed'on 7
-
"Band Saw Cutting
-
a Practical Guide."
Cutting unknown materials
Before cutting an unknown material, consult the supplier of the material, bum a small amount of chips
-
from the material in a safe place, or follow any other procedure to check to see if the material is
flammable or not.
-
u ~ e v e r move your eyes away from the machine during the cutting operation.
Cutting fluids
There are two kinds of cutting fluid, namely oil-based cutting fluids and water soluble cutting fluids.
The oil-based cutting fluid is more expensive than the water soluble cutting fluid. We suggest you use
-
the water-soluble cutting fluids. The following table lists both the advantages and disadvantages for
using water-soluble cutting fluids.
ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF THE WATER-SOLUBLE CUTTING FLUIDS
If Shell Dromus BS or Shell Lubricool Yellow Cutting Fluid is used, the ratio of cutting fluid to water
should be approximately 1 : l S - 1 : 2 0 . Check the sight gauge to ascertain the fluid level in the tank. Tank
capacity: 25.2 liters (6.6 US gal., 5.5 British gal.)
