  Operation 

General operating procedure: 

1.  Turn feed knob to off. 

2.  Raise bow and set desired feed rate. 

3.  Position workpiece; make sure it is secure 

within vise. Make sure left blade guide bracket 
is adjusted as close as possible to left vise jaw. 

4.  Press Start to begin blade movement. Activate 

and adjust coolant flow. 

5.  Turn feed knob to on. Adjust feed rate further if 

needed. 

6.  Blade will shut off at end of cut. (If blade does 

not shut off, limit switch stop bolt needs 
adjustment.) 

10.1

  Blade selection 

The HBS-916EVS and 1018EVS are provided with 
a hook-type variable-tooth blade adequate for a 
wide range of jobs on a variety of common 
materials.  

Sect. 12.0

 shows recommended speeds for various 

materials. These selections, while appropriate for 
many shop cutting needs, do not encompass the 
wide variety of blades of special configuration (tooth 
pitch and set) and special alloys for cutting unusual 
or exotic materials.

 

A coarse blade could be used for a solid steel bar 
but a finer tooth blade would be used on a thin-wall 
tube. In general, the blade choice is determined by 
the thickness of the material; the thinner the 
material, the finer the tooth pitch. 

A minimum of three teeth should be on the 
workpiece at all times for proper cutting. The blade 
and workpiece can be damaged if the teeth are so 
far apart that they straddle the workpiece. 

For very high production on cutting of special 
materials, or for hard-to-cut materials such as 
stainless steel, tool steel, or titanium, ask your 
industrial distributor for more specific blade 
recommendations.  

Also, the supplier who provides the workpiece 
material should be prepared to provide very specific 
instructions regarding the best blade (and coolant or 
cutting fluid, if needed) for the material and shape 
supplied. 

10.2

  Blade break-in procedure 

New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have a 
tooth geometry which is easily damaged if a careful 
break-in procedure is not followed. Consult the 
blade manufacturer’s literature for break-in of 
specific blades on specific materials. However, the 
following procedure will be adequate for break-in of 
JET-supplied blades on lower alloy ferrous 
materials. 

1.  Clamp a round section workpiece in the vise. 

The workpiece should be 2 inches or larger in 
diameter. 

2.  Set the saw on low speed. Start the cut with a 

very light feed rate. 

3.  When the saw has completed 1/3 of the cut, 

increase the feed rate slightly and allow the saw 
to complete the cut. 

4.  Keep the same feed rate and begin a second 

cut on the same or similar workpiece. 

5.  When the blade has completed about 1/3 of the 

cut, increase the feed rate. Observe chip 
formation until cutting is at its most efficient rate 
(see 

sect. 10.3

) and allow the saw to complete 

the cut.  

6.  The blade is now considered ready for regular 

service. 

10.3

  Evaluating cutting efficiency 

The best way to determine if the blade is cutting 
efficiently is to observe the chips formed by the 
cutting. 

If chip formation is powdery, then feed rate is much 
too light, or the blade is dull. 

If chips are curled, but colored — that is, either blue 
or straw-colored from heat generated during the cut 
— then feed rate or blade speed (or both) is too 
high. 

If chips are slightly curled, warm, and silvery (not 
colored by heat), the blade is sufficiently sharp and 
is cutting at an efficient rate. 

Consult a machinist’s handbook or similar source for 
specific speed and feed rates. 

11.0

  User-maintenance 

 Always disconnect power to 

machine before performing maintenance, 
unless indicated otherwise. Failure to comply 
may result in serious personal injury. 

Clean up accumulated saw cuttings after use. Make 
sure vise lead screw is kept free of saw cuttings and 
other material that would cause damage. Open both 
wheel covers and remove chips from the wheel 
housings. 

Remove dust or debris from motor fan area with 
compressed air or vacuum. 

Wear eye protection 

when using compressed air.

 

If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, 
have it replaced immediately. 

Release tension on blade if saw will sit idle for an 
extended period of time. 

Periodically clean chip sludge from chip tray and 
reservoir.
