gauge between the square and saw blade in several places. Factory testing revealed a gap at any
point along the saw blade of less than .003” in both directions. For instructions on squaring the saw
blade see “Adjustment Points” on page 50.
Saw collet
The saw collet has a specific orientation and must be mounted on the
flange in that orientation. If it is mounted backwards, saw cut quality will
suffer as a result. Periodically the saw collet should be cleaned of dirt,
pitch and other waste.
The collet should be checked with a dial indicator for axial run out.
Factory testing yielded an acceptable reading of .0015” TIR.
Saw Arbor
Arbor bounce will affect overall cut quality. Bounce can be caused by improperly adjusted pneumat-
ics, such as the speed of activation and retraction of the saw lift mechanism.
The arbor should be checked with a dial
indicator for axial and radial run out. Factory
testing yielded an acceptable reading of
.0005: TIR. Factory testing yielded an
acceptable reading of .0015” TIR for radial
run out.
Saw pivot
Deflection of the saw pivot will affect overall cut quality. Deflection can be caused by improper
assembly of the components. Saw pivot deflection can cause irregular cut quality. If the saw blade is
subjected to a sudden impact, this can cause pivot deflection as well.
Pivot tension should be checked with a dial indicator for axial and radial run out. Factory testing
yielded an acceptable reading of .001” TIR with the arm slack. Factory testing yielded an acceptable
reading of .002” + .001” slack TIR with a 20 lb. load.
Saw arbor and pivot bearings
TigerSaw has ball bearings in two locations:
•Saw Arbor
•Saw Pivot
Ball bearings consist of four components:
•Inner race
•Outer race
•Cage
•Balls
