Additional Safety Instructions for Bandsaws

1. BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with

a dull, cracked, or badly worn blade. Dull

blades require more effort to use and are

difficult to control. Inspect blades for cracks

and missing teeth before each use.

7. BLADE SPEED. Allow blade to reach full

speed before cutting.

8. LEAVING WORK AREA. Never leave a

machine running while unattended. Allow

the bandsaw to come to a complete stop

before leaving unattended.

2. HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fin-

gers or thumbs in line with the cut. Serious

personal injury could occur.

9. FEED RATE. Always feed stock evenly

and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist blade

while cutting, especially when sawing tight

curves.

3. GUARDS. Do not operate this bandsaw

without the blade guard in place.

4. BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing

blades, make sure the teeth face toward

the front of the saw and the blade is prop-

erly tensioned before operating.

10. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. Do all inspec-

tions, adjustments, and maintenance with

the machine turned OFF and disconnected

from the power source.

5. WORKPIECE HANDLING. Never hold

small workpieces with your fingers when

cutting. Always support/feed the workpiece

with a push stick, table support, vise, or

some type of clamping fixture.

11. BLADE CONTROL. Do not attempt to

stop or slow the blade with your hand or

a workpiece. Allow the blade to stop on its

own.

12. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you

experiencedifficultiesperformingtheintend-

ed operation, stop using the machine and

contact our Technical Support Department

at (570) 546-9663.

6. CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your cuts

carefully. DO NOT back the workpiece

away from the blade while the saw is run-

ning. If you need to back the work out, turn

the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade

to come to a complete stop. DO NOT twist

or put excessive stress on the blade while

backing work away.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor

work results.

Like all machinery there is potential danger

when operating this machine. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this machine

with respect and caution to lessen the pos-

sibility of operator injury. If normal safety

precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding

wire in the power cord must be properly connected

to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the

outlet must be properly installed and grounded.

All electrical connections must be made in accor-

dance with local codes and ordinances.

Serious personal injury could occur if you

connect the machine to the power source

before you have completed the set up pro-

cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the

power source until instructed to do so.

Electrocution or fire could

result if this machine is

not grounded correctly or

if your electrical config-

uration does not comply

with all applicable codes.

Clean Up

Site Considerations

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy

oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove

this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or

citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895

Degreaser. For thorough cleaning, some parts

must be removed. For optimum performance

from your machine, clean all moving parts or

sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based

solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner

that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow

the manufacturer’s instructions when using any

type of cleaning product.

Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

and footprint specifications of your machine.

Some residential floors may require additional

reinforcement to support both the machine and

operator.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of

material to be processed through each machine,

and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or

other machinery when establishing a location for

your new machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum

working clearances.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. DO

NOT use these products

to clean the machinery.

��

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled.

Minimize your risk by only

using these products in a

well ventilated area.

Figure 4. Minimum working clearances.

G7895—Grizzly Citrus Degreaser

This natural, citrus-based degreaser is a great

solution for removing export grease, and it’s much

safer to work around than nasty solvents.

Children and visitors may be

seriously injured if unsuper-

vised. Lock all entrances to

the shop when you are away.

DO NOT allow unsupervised

children or visitors in your

shop at any time!

Dust Collection

Blade Tracking

"Blade Tracking" refers to how the blade rides on

the wheels. When tracking correctly, the blade

rides in the center of the rim part of the wheels.

This saw creates substantial amounts of fine

dust while operating. Failure to use a vacuum

system can result in respiratory illness.

Blade tracking is primarily controlled by adjust-

ing the upper wheel tilt. Tracking the blade in

this manner is referred to as "Center Tracking,"

because you tilt the wheel until the blade rides in

the center.

Connect this machine to a shop vacuum rather

than a dust collector. Most dust collectors are not

designed to capture metal shavings and doing so

may lead to a fire. If you are in doubt about the

capabilities of your shop vacuum or dust collector,

refer the owner's manual before connecting it to

this machine.

Another way to track the blade is known as

"Coplanar Tracking." Coplanar tracking involves

aligning the wheels so they are parallel and

aligned (see Wheel Alignment on Page 42).

When wheels are coplanar, vibration and heat are

reduced during operation.

To connect a vacuum hose:

1. Fit the 2¹⁄2" dust hose over the dust port, as

shown in Figure 18, and secure in place with

a hose clamp.

The wheels on the Model G0621 are factory

aligned, so center tracking is the only adjustment

that needs to be performed during setup.

2. Tug the hose to make sure it is snug.

To center track the blade:

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per-

formance.

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Adjust the upper/lower blade guides and sup-

port bearings away from the blade.

3. Open the upper wheel cover.

4. Adjust the blade tension by matching the size

of the installed blade with the equivalent mark

on the blade tension scale (located on the

back of the bandsaw).

5. Spin the upper wheel by hand at least three

times and watch how the blade rides on the

crown of the wheel. Refer to Figure 19 for an

illustration of this concept.

—If the blade rides on the peak of the upper

wheel crown, then the bandsaw is already

tracked properly and no additional adjust-

ments are needed. Skip to Step 9.

Figure 18. Dust hose attached to dust port.

3. Close stand door and fasten it shut with the

stand door knob.

—If the blade does not ride in the peak of the

upper wheel crown, then continue with the

next step.

CENTER TRACKING

Figure 19. Center tracking profiles.

To test run the machine:

6. Loosen the lock nut on the blade tracking

knob threads so the blade tracking knob will

rotate for adjustments.

1. Read the Safety section beginning on Page

6 and read Basic Controls on Page 24.

7. Spin the upper wheel with one hand and

rotate the blade tracking knob with the other

hand to make the blade ride in the center of

the bandsaw wheel tire.

2. Connect the machine to the power source.

3. Turn the speed dial counterclockwise as far

as it will go.

8. When the blade consistently rides in the cen-

ter of the wheel, tighten the tracking control

lock nut.

4. Lift the STOP paddle on the power switch

and press the STOP button all the way in

(this resets the safety mechanism on the

STOP switch).

9. Close the upper wheel cover.

5. Turn the power ON by pressing the green ON

button above the STOP paddle. The digital

display should light up. If not, make sure the

power STOP switch has been reset; other-

wise, check the electrical connections and

power source.

Note: For the best performance from your saw,

regularly maintain proper blade tracking.

NOTICE

Changes in the blade tension may change

the blade tracking.

6. Press the ON button located on the motor

control switch, then slowly turn the speed dial

clockwise.

Test Run

7. Listen to and watch for abnormal noises or

actions. The machine should run smoothly

with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

Once assembly is complete and you have per-

formed the Blade Tracking steps on Page 17,

test run the machine before continuing with the

remainder of the adjustments.

—Strange or unusual noises must be inves-

tigated and corrected before operating

the machine further. Always turn OFF the

machine and disconnect it from power

before investigating or correcting potential

problems.

Tensioning Blade

Adjusting Support

Bearings

A properly tensioned blade is essential for mak-

ing accurate cuts and is a prerequisite for making

many bandsaw adjustments. The blade tension is

adjusted by rotating the blade tension lever.

The support bearings are positioned behind the

blade to support it during cutting operations.

Proper adjustment of the support bearings is

an important part of making accurate cuts and

also keeps the blade teeth from hitting the blade

guides during cuts.

To tension the bandsaw blade:

1. Make sure you have performed the Test Run

instructions on the previous page and you are

certain that the blade is tracking properly.

To adjust the support bearings:

1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly

2. With the blade tension lever in the down

(engaged) position, adjust the blade tension

until the mark on the blade tension scale

matches the size of blade installed on the

bandsaw.

and that it is correctly tensioned.

2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3. Familiarize yourself with the support bearing

controls shown in Figure 20.

Note: Because each blade is different and all

blades stretch, this scale can only be consid-

ered as a general guide.

3. Turn the bandsaw ON.

Lock Bolt

4. Release the tension one quarter of a turn at a

time. When the bandsaw blade starts to flut-

ter, stop decreasing the tension.

5. Now, slowly increase the tension until the

blade stops fluttering, then tighten the tension

one more quarter of a turn.

Support

Bearing

6. Turn the bandsaw OFF and read the tension

gauge. Use the reading as a guide when ten-

sioning that blade in the future.

Thumbscrew

Figure 20. Support bearing controls.

4. Remove the blade guard.

Note: Do not rely on this measurement for

long periods of time because the blade will

stretch with use.

5. Loosen the lock bolt shown in Figure 20.

NOTICE

To reduce blade stretching, remove the ten-

sion from the blade when not in use.

NOTICE

After blade tension and tracking are set cor-

rectly, properly adjust the upper/lower sup-

port bearings and guide-block assemblies

into position before operating machine.

Aligning Fence

To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first

installed, the table should be aligned so the miter

slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This proce-

dure works best with a ³⁄4" blade.

Workpiece

Overview

Inspection (Wood)

The bandsaw is one of the most versatile wood

cutting tools in the shop. It is capable of perform-

ing the following types of cuts:

Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may

require modification before they are safe to cut.

Straight Cuts

Before cutting wood, get in the habit of

inspecting all workpieces for the following:

•

Miters

Angles

Compound Angles

Resawing

Ripping

•

Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks

and other foreign objects are often embed-

ded in wood. While cutting, these objects can

become dislodged and hit the operator or

break the blade, which might then fly apart.

Always visually inspect your workpiece for

these items. If they can't be removed, do

NOT cut the workpiece.

Crosscutting

Irregular Cuts

•

Simple and Complex Curves

Duplicate Parts

Circles

•

Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can

become dislodged during the cutting opera-

tion. Large knots can cause blade damage.

Choose workpieces that do not have large/

loose knots or plan ahead to avoid cutting

through them.

Beveled Curves

Basic Cutting Tips

Follow these basic tips when operating the

bandsaw:

•

Wet or "Green" Stock: Cutting wood with

a moisture content over 20% causes unnec-

essary wear on the blade and yields poor

results.

•

Keep the upper blade guide assembly adjust-

ed to within 1" of the workpiece.

•

Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as nec-

essary. Make adjustments periodically to

keep the saw running in top condition.

•

Excessive Warping: Workpieces with exces-

sive cupping, bowing, or twisting are danger-

ous to cut because they are unstable and can

move unpredictably when being cut. DO NOT

use workpieces with these characteristics!

•

Use light and even pressure while cutting.

Light contact with the blade makes it easier

to follow lines and prevents extra friction.

•

Minor Warping: Workpieces with slight cup-

ping can be safely supported if the cupped

side faces the table or fence. On the contrary,

a workpiece supported on the bowed side will

rock during a cut, leading to loss of control.

Avoid twisting the blade when cutting around

tight corners. Allow the blade to saw around

the corners.

Misusing the saw or using incorrect tech-

niques is unsafe and results in poor cuts.

Remember—the blade does the cutting with

the operator’s guidance.

•

Never start a cut with the blade in contact

with the workpiece, and do not start a cut on

a sharp edge.

When cutting metal, pay attention to the char-

acteristics of the chips when cutting—they

are good indicators of proper blade speed

and feed rate. Figure 30 shows the basic

chip characteristics and what they mean.

Guide Post

The guide post (shown in Figure 31) connects

the upper blade guide assembly to the bandsaw.

The guidepost allows the blade guide assembly to

move up or down to be as close to the workpiece

as possible. In order to cut accurately and safely,

the bottom of the blade guide assembly must be

no more than 1" from the workpiece at all times—

this positioning provides the greatest blade sup-

port and minimizes the amount of moving blade

exposed to the operator.

Ripping

Crosscutting

"Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of

wood. For plywood or metal, crosscutting simply

means cutting across the width of the workpiece.

When cutting wood, "Ripping" means cutting with

the grain. For plywood or metal, ripping simply

means cutting down the length of the workpiece.

To resaw a workpiece:

Resawing

1. Verify that the bandsaw is setup properly and

that the table is perpendicular to the blade.

"Resawing" (Figure 34) means cutting the

workpiece into two or more thinner workpieces.

2. Use the widest blade your bandsaw will

accept. Note: The blade must also be sharp

and clean.

One of the most important considerations for

resawing is blade selection—a wide blade cuts

straighter and is less prone to blade lead (see

Page 41 for more info on blade lead).

3. Adjust the fence to the desired width of cut,

and lock it in place.

For most applications, use a blade with a hook or

a skip tooth style. Choose blades with fewer teeth-

per-inch (from 3 to 6), because they offer larger

gullet capacities for clearing sawdust, reducing

heat buildup and reducing strain on the motor.

NOTICE

The scale on the front rail will NOT be accu-

rate when using the resaw fence.

4. Support the ends of the board if necessary.

5. Turn the bandsaw ON.

6. Using push paddles and a push stick, main-

tain workpiece pressure against the fence

and table, and slowly feed the workpiece into

the moving blade until the blade is completely

through the workpiece (see Figure 34).

Figure 34. Typical resawing operation.

When resawing thin pieces, a wandering

blade (blade lead) can tear through the side

of the workpiece, exposing your hands to

the blade teeth. Always use push blocks

when resawing and keep your hands clear

of the blade.

Cutting Curves

Stacked Cuts

When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and

turn the stock carefully so the blade follows the

layout line without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt

that it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut

a new kerf, use a narrower blade, a blade with

more TPI (teeth per inch), or make more relief

cuts.

One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to

cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack-

ing workpieces together and cutting them as one.

Before making stacked cuts, ensure that both the

table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°;

otherwise, any error will be compounded.

To complete a stacked cut:

Relief cuts are made through the waste portion of

the workpiece and stop at the layout line. Relief

cuts reduce the chance that the blade will be

pinched or twisted during the cut.

1. Align your pieces from top-to-bottom to

ensure that each piece has adequate scrap

to provide a clean, unhampered cut.

2. Secure all the pieces together in a manner

that will not interfere with the cutting. For

wood, hot glue on the edges works well, as

do brad nails through the waste portion. (Be

careful not to cut into the brads or you may

break the blade!)

The list below shows the minimum radius

that can be cut by common blade widths.

you intend to cut.

4. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the out-

line of your intended shape in areas where

changes in blade direction could cause the

blade to bind.

5. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were

cutting a single piece. Follow your layout line

line as shown in Figure 36.

Tooth Style

When selecting blades, another option to con-

sider is the shape, gullet size, teeth set and teeth

angle—otherwise known as “Tooth Style."

Blade Selection

(Wood Cutting)

Figure 37 illustrates the three main categories of

tooth style:

Selecting the right blade for the cut requires a

knowledge of various blade characteristics.

Blade Length

Measured by the circumference, blade lengths

are usually unique to the brand of your bandsaw

and the distance between wheels. The Model

G0621 uses 108" long blades. Refer to Page 35

for blade replacements.

Skip

Raker

Hook

Blade Width

Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of

the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is

often the first consideration given to blade selec-

tion. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest

curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it

can cut a straight line.

Figure 37. Raker, Skip & Hook tooth styles.

•

Raker: This style is considered to be the

standard because the tooth size and shape

are the same as the tooth gullet. The teeth

on raker blades usually are very numerous,

have no angle, and produce cuts by scrap-

ing the material; these characteristics result

in very smooth cuts, but do not cut fast and

generate more heat than other types while

cutting.

The Model G0621 uses blades from ⁄8" to 1" in

width. Always pick the size of blade that best suits

your application.

•

Curve Cutting: Use the chart in Figure 35 to

determine the correct blade for curve cutting.

Determine the smallest radius curve that will

be cut on your workpiece and use the corre-

sponding blade width.

•

Skip: This style is similar to a raker blade

that is missing every other tooth. Because of

the design, skip toothed blades have a much

larger gullet than raker blades, and therefore,

cut faster and generate less heat. However,

these blades also leave a rougher cut than

raker blades.

•

Straight Cutting: Use the largest width

blade that you own. Narrow blades can cut

tight curves (a small radius) but are not very

good at cutting straight lines because they

naturally wander (blade lead). Large blades

excel at cutting straight lines and are less

prone to wander.

Hook: The teeth on this style have a posi-

tive angle (downward) which makes them

dig into the material, and the gullets are usu-

ally rounded for easier waste removal. These

blades are excellent for the tough demands

of resawing and ripping thick material.

G0621 Wood/Metal Bandsaw

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The most common causes of blade breakage

are:

Tooth Pitch

Usually measured as TPI (teeth per inch), tooth

pitch determines the size/number of the teeth.

More teeth per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower,

but smoother; while fewer teeth per inch (coarse

pitch) will cut rougher, but faster. As a general

rule, choose blades that will have at least three

teeth in the material at all times. Use fine pitched

blades on harder woods and coarse pitched

blades on softer woods.

•

Faulty alignment/adjustment of the guides.

Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a

short radius.

•

Feeding the workpiece too fast.

Dull teeth or damaged tooth sufficient set.

Overtensioned blade.

Blade Care

A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that

is subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain

longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair

treatment and always use the appropriate feed

rate for your operation.

Top blade guide assembly set too high above

the workpiece.

•

Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly fin-

ished braze or weld.

Be sure to select blades with the proper width,

style, and pitch for each application. The wrong

choice of blades will often produce unnecessary

heat which will shorten the life of your blade.

Continuously running the bandsaw when not

in use.

•

Leaving blade tensioned when not in use.

A clean blade will perform much better than a dirty

blade. Dirty or gummed up blades pass through

the cutting material with much more resistance

than clean blades. This extra resistance also

causes unnecessary heat. Grizzly sells resin/pitch

dissolving cleaners that are excellent for cleaning

dirty blades.

Using the wrong TPI for the workpiece thick-

ness. (The general rule of thumb is 3 teeth in

the workpiece at all times.)

Blade Breakage

Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to

break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some

cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar

stresses that bandsaw blades must endure. Blade

breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances.

Avoidable breakage is most often the result of

poor care or judgement on the part of the operator

when mounting or adjusting the blade or support

guides.

Scale Calibration

You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after

changing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale

is not producing accurate cuts. Recalibrate the

fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on

the fence and testing your adjustment by cutting

a piece of scrap wood.

5. Tighten the screws; the scale is now correctly

calibrated.

To calibrate the scale:

1. Set the fence anywhere along the scale and

locate a piece of scrap wood with at least one

straight edge. Joint the edge with a jointer (if

needed) to make the edge straight.

2. Hold the straight edge of the workpiece firmly

against the fence, and feed the workpiece

through the saw blade with a push stick.

3. Measure the width of the cut workpiece. The

width of the workpiece should match the

reading on the fence scale.

Redressing Rubber

Tires

•

Check/correct loose mounting bolts.

Check/correct damaged saw blade.

Check/correct worn or damaged wires.

Correct any other unsafe condition.

As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the

wheels may need to be redressed if they harden or

glaze over. Redressing the rubber tires improves

blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.

Monthly

If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade

tracking will become extremely difficult. At that

point, redressing will no longer be effective and

the rubber tires must be replaced.

•

Check for V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

•

Remove blade and thoroughly clean all built-

up sawdust from the rubber tires on the

wheels.

To redress the rubber tires:

•

Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-

net and off motor.

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Put on heavy leather gloves.

3. Remove the blade.

Cleaning

4. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber

tires.

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and

wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If

resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner

to remove it.

5. Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rub-

ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. Only

redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh

rubber surface.

Once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly

clean all built-up sawdust from the rubber tires on

the wheels.

Checking V-Belts

1. Follow all previous instructions for Accessing

V-Belts.

Servicing V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transfer from the motor

to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condi-

tion and operate under proper tension. Check belt

tension at least every 3 months—more often if the

bandsaw is used daily. V-belts stretch with use

and must be periodically re-tensioned.

2. Push the center of each V-belt as illustrated

in Figure 44, using moderate force. When

tensioned correctly, the deflection should be

about ¹⁄4".

—If the deflection is more than ⁄4", then ten-

sion that V-belt (see Page 40) before doing

Step 4.

Replace the V-belts if they are cracked, frayed, or

excessively worn.

2. Open the lower wheel cover.

3. Remove the bandsaw blade.

4. Remove the lower wheel by removing the

hex bolt at the center of the wheel, then

sliding the wheel off the shaft. (The hex nut

has left handed threads, so you must turn it

clockwise to loosen it.)

5. Take off the pulley cover plate by removing

the six Phillips head screws. You now have

access to the V-belts for inspection or service

Shimming Table

Blade Lead

To ensure accuracy when cutting stacked

workpieces, the table should be 90˚ to the back of

the blade as shown in Figure 47. If the table is not

perpendicular to the back of the blade, the table

needs to be shimmed.

"Blade Lead" means that the blade does not cut

straight when using the fence or miter gauge (see

Figure 48). This is a common condition with all

bandsaws. Worn or damaged blades may cause

lead and replacing them will fix the problem. Still, if

your bandsaw is setup correctly and lead occurs,

compensate for it by skewing the fence.

Shims can be made of any durable object that

can be sandwiched between the table and the

trunnions. We recommend using shim washers or

shim stock because of the wide range of available

thicknesses. These items can be purchased at

your local hardware store.

Figure 48. Blade leading away from line of cut.

To correct blade lead, do the following steps

and make a test cut before skewing the

fence:

Figure 47. Squaring table to blade back.

To shim the table:

1. Ensure that you have proper blade tension

(refer to Page 19).

1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly

and that it is correctly tensioned.

2. Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted

correctly (refer to Pages 19 & 21).

2. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3. Loosen the trunnion bolts that secure the

3. Ensure that the miter slot or fence is parallel

to the blade (refer to Page 23).

trunnions to the table.

4. Place shim stock between the table and the

two trunnions to shim the table in the desired

direction.

To skew your fence:

1. Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately ⁄4

thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On a wide face of

the board, draw a straight line parallel to the

long edge.

Note: Another way to shim the table is to add

washers between the table and the trunnion.

5. Follow the Aligning Table instructions on

Page 23 to complete this procedure.

2. Slide the fence out of the way and cut free-

hand along the line. Stop at the halfway point.

Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade

to stop.

-41-

3. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-

out moving it. Now slide the fence over to

the board so it barely touches one end of the

board.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment, or "Coplanar Tracking," is one

of the easiest ways to ensure you get optimal per-

formance from your bandsaw. When wheels are

aligned, or coplanar, the bandsaw cuts straighter.

Vibration, heat, and blade wear are also consid-

erably decreased because the blade is automati-

cally balanced on the wheel.

4. Loosen the two cap screws that mount the

front rail to the table.

5. Place shims between the front rail and the

table as necessary to make the fence parallel

to the edge of the scrap piece.

Note: Shim stock works well for this, but small

pieces of paper can also work in a pinch.

Verifying Upper/Lower Wheels are

Coplanar

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

To compensate for lead when making straight

crosscuts with the miter gauge, you will need

to shift the table:

2. With the blade on and properly tensioned,

hold a straightedge close to the center of

both wheels. Make sure the straightedge

fully extends across the wheels as shown in

Figure 49.

1. Set the miter gauge to 90° and verify that the

gauge body is square to the miter bar, using

a 90° square.

2. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that

is perpendicular to the front edge of the

workpiece.

3. Starting where the line begins, cut the board

by pushing it through the blade with the miter

gauge.

4. Loosen the table mounting bolts, and shift the

table to compensate for the blade lead.

5. Repeat Steps 1 & 2 until the blade cuts

straight when wood is pushed through with

the miter gauge.

Figure 49. Checking wheel alignment with a

straightedge.

NOTICE

If the table is shifted, the fence will be

affected since it is attached.

—If the wheels are coplanar, the straightedge

wil touch the top and bottom of the outside

rims on each wheel.

NOTICE

—If the wheels are not coplanar, place

the straightedge on the lower wheel first

(ensuring that it touches both the top and

bottom rim), then adjust the tracking knob

to see how the upper wheel lines up with

the straightedge.

Lead adjustments will change when new

blades are mounted on the saw.

-42-

G0621 Wood/Metal Bandsaw

—If the straightedge does not touch both

wheels evenly, the upper wheel needs to

be shimmed or the lower wheel needs to

be adjusted.

Shimming Upper Wheel

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Adjust the tracking knob so the top wheel is

parallel with the bottom wheel.

3. With the straightedge touching both points of

the wheel that does not need to be adjusted,

measure the distance away from the incor-

rect wheel with a fine ruler (see Figure 50).

The distance measured with the ruler is the

distance the wheel must be corrected.

Figure 51. Coplanar diagram.

Adjusting Lower Wheel

Only do this procedure if you cannot make the

wheels coplaner with the tracking knob or by

shimming the upper wheel. Make sure the upper

wheel is adjusted as close as possible to being

coplanar with the lower wheel before beginning.

Do this procedure with the blade fully tensioned.

To adjust the lower wheel:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Loosen the four hex bolts on the lower wheel

adjustment hub (Figure 52). These secure

the wheel adjustment sleeves.

Figure 50. Measuring wheel difference.

4. Remove the blade from the saw, then remove

the wheel that needs to be shimmed.

Hex Bolt

5. Determine how many shim washers you

need and place them on the wheel shaft.

6. Replace the wheel, the original washers, and

the securing nut.

7. Tighten the blade, then check the wheels.

(Coplanar wheels may pull out of alignment

when the blade is tightened.)

Figure 52. Wheel adjustment hub.

8. When the wheels are coplanar, place a mark

on each wheel where you held the straight-

edge. This assures repeated accuracy every

time you adjust your wheels.

3. Rotate the wheel adjustment sleeves to move

the lower wheel as necessary to make it

coplaner with the upper wheel.

Note: When wheels are properly coplanar,

the blade may not be centered on the crown

of the wheel, but it will be balanced. See

Figure 51 to better understand coplanarity.

4. Tighten the hex bolts to secure the wheel

adjustment sleeves in position.
