2. The saw blade (A) should also ride between and lightly touch the two blade guide roller bearings (E) and
(F) (fig. 9)
The front bearing (E) (fig. 9) is mounted C
on an eccentric, and can easily be adjusted
to suit blade thickness by loosening set
screw (G) and turning shaft (E).
3.The carbide blade guides (H) (fig 9)
should also be adjusted so they lightly touch the blade by
loosening screw (K).
4. The blade guide roller bearings, carbide guides and backup bearing
on holder (fig 9 and 10) should be adjusted in the same manner.
5. Cutting chips on the blade will be cleared by the steel brush.
9-8.CLEARING THE CUTTTNG CHIP
Please use steel brush to clear the chip on the blade teeth (fig 11)
9-9.BLADE AND COOLING SYSTEM
The use of proper cutting fluid is essential to obtain maximum
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. cutting area and
blade wheels should be kept clean at all time.
The rate of coolant flow is controlled by the stop valve lever (A)
(fig 12), which directs the coolant onto the blade. The lever (A) is
shown in the off position.
9-10. Setting the Vise for Square Cuts
The procedure for setting the vise for square cuts is identical to setting
for angle cuts (above) except that a machinist’s square is used to set the
angle of the fixed vise jaw (A, Fig. 13). Align one side of the square
with the side of the slot (C, Fig. 13) in the table.
