BLADE CARE
The bandsaw blade is subjected to a tremendous amount of strain. Make sure to always use the
appropriate feed rate for the type material you are cutting.
Be sure to select a blade of the proper width, style, and pitch that will produce the best cut in
your material. Choosing the wrong blade can produce excess heat that can adversely affect the
life of the blade.
A clean blade performs much better than one that is dirty. Blades that are gummed up and dirty
offer more resistance when cutting through the material. This in turn creates unnecessary heat
in the blade.
BLADE BREAKAGE
In some cases blade breakage is unavoidable due to the stresses that are imparted on the
blade. Avoidable breakage is often the result of poor care, or poor operator judgement when it
comes to adjusting or mounting the blade or blade guides.
Listed below are some of the more common reasons for blade breakage.
•
Top blade guide assembly is set too high above the piece part.
•
The blade is tensioned incorrectly.
•
Piece part is fed into the blade too quickly.
•
Blade teeth are dull or broken.
•
Blade is not properly aligned with the guides.
•
Forcing a large width blade to cut a small radius.
•
Using a blade with an improperly finished weld joint.
•
Allowing the blade to run when not in use. ( NEVER leave an unattended blade running.)
