2. Using a gear puller, remove the lower wheel. Take care not to damage the clamp screw
thread.
3. Replace the drive belts.
4. Refit the lower wheel and re-clamp with the Allen screw. It is better to replace the drive
belt(s) early than to have a breakdown during an important job.
Table insert
The table insert (throat plate) is made of aluminum and is designed to reduce damage to
the blade should they come in contact. If the blade slot becomes too wide or the insert
becomes damaged by the blade, it should be replaced. The replacement insert will have to
be fitted to the table hole. The insert is provided with four jacking screws that can be
adjusted so that the insert is level with the top of the table.
Bearings
All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes
faulty, replace it.
Rust
The bandsaw is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not
protected. It is recommended that the table and fence bar be protected by coating with wax
if the machine is not in constant use. All moving non-painted surfaces (guides, rack and
pinion, etc.) should be lubricated/protected with a Teflon-based lubricant.
Rack and pinion
The band saw is fitted with a rack and pinion, which raises and lowers the upper guides. It
should run smoothly. If there is excessive play or it is too tight, the following adjustment can
be made.
1. Loosen the Allen screws that clamp the vertical adjustment handle to the bandsaw.
2. There is clearance in the holes, and the vertical adjustment handle can be adjusted.
Note: The machine comes factory set, and no adjustment should be required.
Top guide vertical adjustment shaft
The top guide, when moved vertically, tracks the blade and comes factory set. Adjustment
is provided should that mechanism become misaligned. This is a tricky operation and
should only be attempted if an extreme error has occurred.
Adjustment procedure
1.
With the guide at its highest position, adjust the side guides so that there is
approximately 1/16" clearance on each side.
2.
Adjust the back guide so that it is 1/16” behind the back of the blade.
