4. Frame.
The frame of the bandsaw is a U-shaped frame, which houses all the parts of the
machine. This is the heart of the bandsaw and must be very rigid, as it takes the
strain of the blade being tensioned.
5. Blade tension handle.
The blade tension handle moves the blade tension and tilt assembly vertically. The
vertical action compresses a spring that ensures that the blade tension is constant
and will not change dramatically as the blade length increases due to the heat
generated by the cutting action.
6. Blade tracking window.
There is a blade tracking window on the side of the frame that allows the edge of
the upper flywheel to be viewed. This allows the tracking of the blade to be
achieved with the door closed.
7. Cast iron table.
The table supports the work piece and can tilt (-6 degrees to +45 degrees) to produce
cuts at various angles. It has a groove to the right-hand side of the blade, which is
used to guide the miter gauge. In the center there is a table insert which the blade
passes through. Should the blade wander off center, this table insert will protect the
1. Tension indicator
Tension indicators are designed to indicate the compression of a
spring. As a rule, the greater the spring compression, the
greater the tension on the blade. The tension scale does not
register until the blade is relatively taut and is located on the
inside of the body of the bandsaw. The tension scale is a
general reference and not a rule. The tension indicator is visible
with the upper door closed by looking through the tension
indicator window.
2. Switch.
To start the machine press the "I" button on the start stop
switch. To shut off the machine press the "O" on the start stop
switch. When the safety switch is pressed it stops the power to
the motor. To reset it, twist and it will pop out and allow power to
be supplied to the motor.
3. Motor.
The bandsaw is supplied with a 120V motor. It drives the lower
flywheel through a drive belt.
