  Troubleshooting MBS-1018 Band Saw 

Symptom Possible 

Cause 

Correction* 

Excessive blade 
breakage 

Material loose in vise. 

Clamp work securely. 

Incorrect speed or feed. 

Check machinery handbook for speed/ 
feed appropriate for material being cut. 

Teeth too coarse for material. 

Check 

machinery 

handbook 

for 

recommended blade type. 

Incorrect blade tension. 

Adjust blade tension to the point where 
the blade just does not slip on the wheel. 

Saw blade is in contact with 
workpiece before the saw is started. 

Start the motor before placing the saw on 
the workpiece. 

Blade rubs on wheel flange. 

Adjust blade tracking. 

Misaligned guides. 

Adjust guides. 

Cracking at weld. 

Longer annealing cycle. 

Premature blade dulling  Blade teeth too coarse. 

Use a finer tooth blade. 

Blade speed too high. 

Try a lower blade speed. 

Inadequate feed pressure. 

Decrease spring tension. 

Hard spots in workpiece or scale 
on/in workpiece. 

Increase feed pressure (hard spots). 
Reduce speed, increase feed pressure 
(scale). 

Work hardening of material 
(especially stainless steel). 

Increase feed pressure by reducing spring 
tension. 

Insufficient blade tension. 

Increase tension to proper level. 

Operating saw without pressure on 
workpiece. 

Do not run blade at idle in/on material. 

Bad cuts (out-of-
square) 

Workpiece not square with blade. 

Adjust vise so it is square with the blade. 
(Always clamp work tightly in vise.) 

Feed pressure too fast. 

Decrease pressure. 

Guide bearings not adjusted 
properly. 

Adjust guide bearing clearance to 0.001 
inch (0.002 inch maximum). 

Inadequate blade tension. 

Gradually increase blade tension. 

Span between the two blade guides 
too wide. 

Move blade guide bar closer to work. 

Dull blade. 

Replace blade. 

Incorrect blade speed. 

Check blade speed/pulley position. 

Blade guide assembly is loose. 

Tighten blade guide assembly. 

Blade guide bearing assembly loose. Tighten blade guide bearing assembly. 

Blade track too far away from wheel 
flanges. 

Adjust blade tracking. 

Guide bearing worn. 

Replace worn bearing.
