spring, which helps to keep the tension constant as the blade expands and
contracts with the heat generated by the cutting action. The lower flywheel is
also adjustable for tracking and has 4 bolts at the back of the machine that
adjust the wheel shaft. The lower wheel is factory set and should not need
adjustment.
Fence
The fence is located to the left of the blade and is used to assist in parallel cuts.
It is adjustable for the drift of the blade and also the thickness of the cut.
Where to locate your bandsaw
Before you remove your bandsaw from the pallet, select the area where you
will use your machine. There are no hard and fast rules for its location but
below are a few guidelines.
1. There should be an area at the front and back of the machine suitable for
the length of wood that you will be cutting. If you intend to use your saw
for scrollwork, this may not be important but should be considered at this
stage.
2. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the more accurate and safely
you will be able to work
3. Solid floor. You should select a solid flat floor, preferably concrete or
something similar.
4. Close to power source and dust collection.
