Introduction
Welcome to a new era in band sawing. You have purchased a bandsaw with a
revolutionary blade guide system (patent pending) that is designed to give you many
years of safe, high-quality band sawing.
Most blade guide systems are designed to support the blade on the sides and either above
or below the side guides to support the back of the blade. This can allow the blade to
twist as pressure from the wood being cut pushes against the back blade guide.
The surround guide eliminates this by supporting the blade above and below the back
blade guide, giving the blade unsurpassed stability. The surround guide also incorporates
patented ceramic as the blade support material. The advantage of this material is its
ability to resist wear and , with care, should give you years of safe service.
1.
As with the roller guide systems, the Surround Guide System will damage your
bandsaw blade if it is not adjusted correctly. The guide blocks must not come in
contact with the blade teeth., it is advised that you run the blade by hand with the
guide blocks completely clear of the blade, and only when you are completely
sure that the blade is running consistently in the correct position, then adjust the
surround guide blocks as detailed in this manual.
2.
When fitting a new blade to your bandsaw, adjust the guide blocks and run the
blade by hand through the guide blocks for at least two complete revolutions.
NOTE: the weld on the new blade may not be perfectly aligned and the
misalignment could hit the ceramic blocks (side and back), causing damage to the
blocks and/or the blade. If the blade has a bad weld, return it to your blade
supplier, or side dress and file the rear edge as needed.
3.
The back blade guide is manufactured from ceramic, so as the blade is pushed
against it, friction between the blade and ceramic occurs. This action generates a
certain amount of sparks. This is normal and will reduce as the back blade guide
smoothes out the back of the blade.
4.
The back blade guide will slowly form a small groove as the blade is used. It is
recommended that for approximately every 8 hours of use the guide be rotated
15
degrees. This will insure that the groove does not become too deep and will
greatly extend the life of the guide.
5.
The Surround Guide System can be used on blades ¼” – ¾”.
