1. Tension indicator / window.
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 3 hp, 220V motor. It drives the
lower flywheel through a drive belt.
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 has to 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 blade from damage, as it is soft and
should not damage the blade. The table also supports the adjustable fence, which is used for
parallel cuts. There is a nut and bolt that joins both sides of the table and stops the table from
warping. The nut and bolt must always be fitted in the table and only removed when removing
