G0513X/G0514X/G0514X3 Extreme Series Bandsaw
Blade Lead
Bandsaw blades commonly wander off the cut
line when sawing, as shown in
Figure 41
. This
is called blade lead. Blade lead is commonly
caused by too fast of a feed rate, a dull or abused
blade, or improper tension. If your blade is sharp/
undamaged and you still have blade lead, per-
form the following instructions.
Figure 41. Blade leading away from line of cut.
To correct blade lead:
1. Use less pressure when feeding the workpiece
through the cut.
2.
Check that the miter slot or fence is parallel
to the blade line, and correct if necessary.
3. Check for proper blade tension. If the blade
tension is correct and it is not convenient to
replace the blade, compensate for lead by
skewing the fence or adjusting the table.
To skew your fence:
1.
Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately
3
⁄
4
"
thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On a wide face of
the board, draw a straight line parallel to the
long edge.
2. Cut halfway through the board on the line by
pushing it into the blade. Turn the bandsaw
OFF and wait for the blade to stop.
To fine tune the tracking:
1. Close the wheel covers and turn the bandsaw
ON
.
2. Observe the blade tracking path through
the clear window on the right edge of the
bandsaw as shown in
Figure 40 .

requires the machine to be turned ON .
3.
Using the tracking controls (

,
Figure

), adjust the blade so it tracks on the center
of the wheel.
4. Tighten the tracking lock so the knob cannot
move.
