Blade Guide

Bearings

The blade guide bearings must be properly adjusted. One bearing on each assembly has an eccentric bushing that allows the distance between bearings to be adjusted. The bearings are secured in place by a hex nut and lock wash- er shown in Figure 48.

2.Position the bandsaw in the vertical position.

3.Loosen the hex nut that secures the bearing to the eccentric bushing.

4.Using a 13mm open-end wrench, adjust the eccentric bushing position to achieve the desired clearance. The bearing and blade should have a clearance of 0.001".

5.Tighten the nut to lock the bearing in posi- tion.
