Additional
Notes
on
Cutting
Pressure
Control
The
cutting
pressure
is
controlled
by
three
features:
1.
The
Frame
Weight
crank
handle.
The
primary
cutting
force
comes
from
gravity.
The
counterbalance
spring(s)
compensates
for
the
change
in
the
weight
of
the
saw
frame
as
it
moves
from
top
to
bottom.
For
the
set
Ͳ
up
position,
turn
the
crank
handle
about
forty
turns
so
that
the
upper
spring
anchor
tube
is
about
10
inches
from
the
saw
frame.
If
needed,
fine
adjustments
can
be
made
at
the
lower
spring
anchor
by
turning
the
adjusting
screw
in
or
out.
2.
The
Power
Downfeed
air
pressure
regulator.
This
provides
positive
downforce
to
the
saw
frame
in
addition
to
the
force
of
gravity.
Set
at
10
PSI
for
set
Ͳ
up.
3.
The
Feed
Control
knob.
This
adjusts
the
rate
that
the
head
will
fall.
Make
set
Ͳ
up
test
cut
at
position
1.
These
forces
combine
to
put
controlled
cutting
force
on
the
blade.
It
is
important
to
keep
these
forces
in
balance.
Excessive
Downfeed
pressure
will
shorten
the
life
of
the
blade
or
increase
the
risk
of
blade
damage.
Increasing
any
of
these
pressures
will
increase
blade
cutting
force
and
should
only
be
done
in
small
increments.
Always
inspect
the
chips
from
the
cut.
Measure
the
cutting
times
and
compare
against
known
cutting
rates.
