Rust
The bandsaw is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust
if not protected.
It is recommended that the table and fence bar be protected by coating with
wax if the machine is not in constant use. All moving non-painted surfaces
[guides, rack and pinion, etc.] should be lubricated / protected with a Teflon-
based lubricant.
Rack and pinion
The band saw is fitted with a rack and pinion,
which rises and lowers the upper guides. It
should run smoothly. If there is excessive
play or it is too tight, the following
adjustment can be made.
1. Loosen the 3 allen screws that clamp
the vertical adjustment handle to the
band saw.
2. There is clearance in the holes and the
vertical adjustment handle can be adjusted.
Note: the machine comes factory-set, and no
adjustment should be required.
Lower wheel tracking
This adjustment is achieved by loosening the shaft clamp screw and moving the
shaft with the 4 bolts provided. The two vertical bolts control one axis and the
two horizontal bolts control the other axis.
Adjustment procedure
Install a blade, tension and track. Use a 1/4” wide blade. Note the position of
the blade on the lower wheel.
