Horizontal Band Saw

12.3 ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE ROLLER

BEARINGS

The back of the blade (A) Fig. 7, should ride against the

back-up support bearing (B) which is positioned at an

angle so as to provide greater bearing support, eliminating

bearing wear and extending blade life.

The saw blade (A) should also ride between the two roller

bearings (C) and (D) Fig. 7.

The rear bearing (C) on the left hand blade guide can

be easily adjusted to suit blade thickness by loosening

nut (E). The bearing (C) is on an eccentric shaft which

enables it to be adjusted for blade thickness in the same

manner with the exception that the adjustable roller

bearing is in the forward position.

Part (F) shown Fig. 8 is a tungsten carbide block, after

completing the adjustments shown in Fig. 7, tighten the

Part (F) onto the surface of the saw blade.

12.4 CHANGING BLADE SPEED

1. Raise cutting head approximately six inches above

work piece and turn feed rate knob to zero.

2. Turn power on and turn speed adjuster knob (as in

Figure 9) to match appropriate material.

12.5 OPERATING VISE

The workpiece is placed between the vise jaws with the

required amount to be cut-oﬀ extending out past the blade.

To position the moveable vise jaw (B) instantly, simply turn

vise handknob (A) Fig. 10, counterclockwise 1/2 turn and

move the vise jaw (B) to the desired position.

Then tighten vise by turning the knob (A) clockwise.

The vise can be adjusted to cut any angle from 0° to 45°

by loosening the two bolts (C) Fig, 10, on each vise jaw.

Position the vise jaws to the desired angle and tighten the

bolts. It is also necessary, when angle cutting, to move

the right hand vise jaw (D) to the left until the workpiece

and right hand vise jaw clears the right hand guide arm.
