BAND SAW

MINIMUM CUTTING RADIUS

Turning radius may vary depending on the type of blade

and amount of set. Each blade, however, depending on

its width, can cut continuously without back tracking any

curve having a radius as much or more than the specified

minimum turning radius of the blade, as shown in the

chart (A) Fig. 27, located inside top wheel cover.

Always use the widest blade possible and limit use of

narrow blades for sawing small, abrupt curves and for

fine delicate work.

TILTING THE TABLE

1. The table can be tilted 45 degrees to the right and

approximately 3 degrees to the left. To tilt the table,

loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 25, tilt the table to the desired

angle and tighten lock handle (A). NOTE: The table lock

handle (A) can be repositioned by pulling out on the

handle and repositioning it on the nut located

underneath the hub of the handle. A scale (B) and pointer

2. A positive stop is provided to insure that the table is

returned 90 degrees to the blade after tilting. Place a

square (D) Fig. 26, on the table and against the blade and

check to see if the table is 90 degrees to the blade as

shown. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lock nut (E)

and turn screw (F) with wrench (G) until table surface is

90 degrees to blade, and screw (F) is contacting the

frame. Then tighten locknut (E).
