COOLANT FLOW
The S-23 bandsaw is equipped with two needle valves
that independently control the coolant nozzles which are
capable of supplying a generous flow of coolant to the
blade.
The left (idler) guide arm nozzle supplies a flow of
coolant that should flood the blade as it moves through
the carbide pads into the material to be cut. The
adjustable valve on the left guide arm should be set to a
higher flow as a higher blade speed is used to provide
the flood of coolant necessary.
The right (drive) guide arm provides an adjustable
coolant flow through the needle valve and the flexible
hose nozzle that can be pointed directly where
necessary. This flexible hose should be used when
cutting solid bars, bundles, or wide structurals. Set the
flow of coolant directly into the opening in the material
where the blade is cutting.
NOTE:
When cutting materials that do not need constant coolant, such as Cast Iron, some coolant flow is
required for blade lubrication to prevent blade scoring by the carbide pads as the blade moves through them.
GUIDE ARM POSITIONING
The S-23 guide arms are adjustable to accommodate
varying material widths. The guide arms should be adjusted as
close to the material width as possible while still allowing the
material to pass between them. This process of matching the
guide arm spacing to the material size is important to optimize
blade life.
To adjust the guide arm pacing the locking handles are
loosened by turning them counter clockwise. The carbide
locking lever is then moved in the counter clockwise direction
so that the carbides release the blade. The guide arms will
then slide on the main guide bar which supports them.
To tighten the guide arm, the handle is turned clockwise
until the handles are in the locked position (4 to 6 o'clock) as
illustrated in the photo. The carbide locking lever should be
moved to the upright tensioned position.
