Bearings
The support bearings are positioned behind the blade
for support during cutting operations, because the blade
is typically pushed back with the pressure from the
advancing workpiece. Proper adjustment of the support
bearings is an important part of making accurate cuts and
also keeps the blade teeth from coming in contact with
the guide bearings while cutting. Make sure the blade
is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned
before adjusting the upper and lower support bearings.
To.adjust.the.upper.support.bearing,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Familiarize yourself with the upper support bearing
controls shown in
