Bandsaw Trouble Shooting/Accessories

33

Bandsaws  are relatively  simple machines and with all
machinery regular servicing (preventative maintenance) is
essential to get the best from your saw.

•   This is the most common question 

that you will get from bandsaw 
users. Usually the answer lies within 
the blade; poor quality blades with 
uneven set, the blade is blunt or 
damaged often only on one side, the 
tooth count is far too high for the 
material being cut -remember 2 teeth 
minimum and 10 teeth maximum in 
the workpiece.

• The fence is out of line with the blade.

‘My bandsaw

won’t cut

straight”

• Clean machine wheels.

•  Check blade is running correctly on 

wheels.

• Check blade weld – is it in line?

•   Check machine is not on an uneven 

floor.

“My bandsaw

vibrates”

•  Check drive belt is tensioned 

correctly.

•  If cutting hard or wet material slow 

your feed rate down.

• Check blade is sharp and not too fine.

•  Make sure that when curve cutting a 

narrow blade is used- see unit 5 blade 
and cutter types.

“My bandasw

slows down

when cutting”

•  No , most woodcutting bandsaws run 

far too fast to cut steel even if a metal 
cutting blade is fitted.

• Note the BS11-INV will cut mild steel.

“Can I cut steel

on my

bandsaw?”

•  DO NOT SET THE BLADE SPEED 

TOO HIGH OTHERWISE THE 
BLADE WILL START TO GENERATE 
HEAT WHICH WILL REDUCE 
THE BLADE’S LIFE SPAN AND 
COULD DAMAGE THE INTERNAL 
COMPONENTS.
