11.4 The table insert
The table insert on a bandsaw is a consumable item Fig.11.9 and
will therefore need replacing periodically. This procedure should
be carried out with the bandsaw blade removed. To replace the
table insert simply push the old insert out from underneath the
table and fit the new one into position.
11.5 The bandwheel tyres
The bandwheels on this machine have rubber tyres fitted to
the outer rim of the wheel
Fig.11.10
to protect the set of the
blade when in use, also to provide drive and to stop the blade
slipping. As part of your regular service schedule inspect the
tyres for wear and damage and replace if necessary. Again this
is a consumable part of the bandsaw and will need replacing
periodically depending on usage.
First remove the blade from the bandsaw, then remove the
bandwheel. Gently ease the existing tyre from the rim taking care
not to damage the bandwheel. To fit the new tyre it is a good
idea to heat the tyre first in hot water, this softens the rubber
up and makes it easier to stretch it over the bandwheel. The
tyres before stretching are much smaller than the bandwheel
and a good deal of stretching is required to make them fit. It is
advisable to get help from a second person who can insert the
wheel into the tyre while it is fully stretched.
11.6 The bandwheel bearings
The bandwheel bearings are sealed for life units which will need
replacing periodically depending on usage.
To replace the bearings; first ensure that there is no blade fitted.
Now remove the hex head bolt from the hub and remove the
bandwheel, you will notice that there are two separate bearings
fitted in the hub pressed up against each other. Take a brass drift
(or similar) and tap one of the bearings out, the second bearing
should now be able to be pushed out.
When fitting the new bearings; position by hand in the wheel hub
and tap in until the bearing seats against the ridge in the casting.
Fig.11.11.
11.7 Cleaning the table
The table is ground from cast iron and if cared for properly
will provide smooth accurate performance. Obviously when
machining wood a certain amount of resin will be deposited on
the surface, to ensure optimum performance the table needs to
be properly cleaned at regular intervals.
Firstly brush off all loose particles, then wipe clean with white
spirit ensuring that any resin build up is dispersed and removed.
Once the table has been thoroughly cleaned it can now be
treated with CWA195 silicone spray or wax. If these guidelines
are followed the timber will glide smoothly and accurately across
the table.
11.8 The bandwheel brush
The purpose of this brush is to remove any excess sawdust and
resin from the bandwheel and tyre
Fig.11.12 . This brush will
need adjusting periodically depending on usage. Before each use
inspect the brush and make sure it is making sufficient contact
with the bandwheel to remove sawdust from the tyre. The brush
should be touching but not applying pressure to the wheel).
If it isn’t; loosen the fixing and adjust accordingly so it makes
contact with the wheel. When the brush cannot be adjusted any
nearer the wheel due to the bristles being worn then it must be
replaced. Periodically the brush may also become clogged up
with resin (this is especially common when cutting a long run
of soft wood) if this occurs this resin must be scraped off as
performance of the brush will be reduced.
