Vibration damper
with vibration damper
without vibration damper
The vibration damper can be assembled to the left saw arm. This
optional accessory is extremely useful in reducing the blade vibration
produced under high-speed cutting. Especially for cutting small
materials on bandsaws of large width capacity, the vibration damper
can reduce blade vibration, increase cutting rate, and enable smooth
cut-off surfaces.
When cutting round and square material with C-420NC, use of vibration
damper will limit the capacity to 15.6
” (398mm). When cutting
rectangular material with C-420NC, use of vibration damper will limit
the HxW capacity to 15.6
” (398mm) x 16.5 ” (420mm).
Therefore, when intending to cut at full capacity, vibration damper
needs to be taken off. Please follow below steps to take off the vibration
damper.
1. Loosen the nuts.
2. Remove the cover, nuts, washers, and vibration damper.
3. Tighten the nuts and washers back.
Chip conveyor
Chip conveyor is a spiral device to bring chips out during cutting.
As a regular maintenance, remove the chip conveyor and clean all chip
deposits inside.
