Tracking

The wheels on the Model G3619/G3620 Resaw Bandsaws are crowned with rubber tires. This style requires center tracking for proper opera- tion.

To center track your blade:

1.Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!

2.Open the upper wheel cover door. Slowly rotate the upper wheel and watch where the blade rides on the wheel. If the blade stays centered on the crown of the wheel, then it is properly tracked.

3.If the blade does not ride centered on the crown of the wheel, then spin the upper wheel by hand and adjust the tracking hand- wheel until the blade is positioned correctly.

4.Spin the wheel approximately three more times to ensure that the blade stays cen- tered. Adjust and check if necessary.

5.Close the upper wheel cover door.

Tracking

The wheels on the Model G9963/G9966 Resaw Bandsaws are considered “Flat Wheels.” This means that tracking procedures vary from the common crowned wheel bandsaws, because they do not have to be centered for proper oper- ation.

To track the blade:

1.Make sure the bandsaw is unplugged!

2.Open the wheel cover doors and check the position of the blade on the wheels. The teeth of the blade should be over the edge of each wheel. Ideally, the bottom of the teeth gullets should ride approximately 116" off the edge of the wheels as shown in Figure 10.
