BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE UNIT
This 14" wood cutting bandsaw is supplied with a 3/8" wide general purpose blade and is designed to accommo-
date blade widths from 1/8" to 3/4". Ideal blade length for this 90-125 model is 93 1/2" (2375 mm).
Note: Generally speaking, because the upper wheel height is somewhat adjustable (to allow for blade tensioning), a blade
length variation of plus or minus 1/2" from the “ideal blade length” can be accommodated.
