Setting Blade Height

The blade height is defined as the distance between the conveyor table and the bottom face of the bandsaw blade. There is an internal limit switch that will not allow the blade to be adjusted closer than 1⁄4" to the conveyor table. Note—Use the “Blade Memory Function” described in the next subsection when you want to make resaw cuts thinner than 1⁄4", and be sure to cut from the top of the workpiece.

The blade height can be adjusted by using the keypad, or by pressing the UP and DOWN con- trol panel buttons. After using either method of adjustment, the digital display will indicate the current blade height.

To set the blade height with the UP and DOWN control panel buttons:

1.Turn the control panel POWER ON switch clockwise to supply power to the control panel.

2.Press the UP button to move the blade up and press the DOWN button to move the blade down. Watch the digital display to gauge the blade height.

To set the blade height with the keypad:

1.Turn the control panel POWER ON switch clockwise to supply power to the control panel.

2.Press the FUNC key.

3.Enter the desired blade height to the nearest hundredth's place. For example, if you want the blade height to be 2", press 2, 0, 0 on the keypad. If you want the blade height to be 3⁄4", press 7, 5.

4.After the blade height has been entered, press the START key.

Calibrating Digital

Display

The digital display indicates the distance between the conveyor table and the bottom face of the bandsaw blade. The digital display needs to be calibrated to ensure that the displayed blade height and the actual blade height are the same.

To calibrate the digital display:

1.Resaw a piece of scrap wood. See “Resawing” on Page 27 for more information.

2.Measure the thickness of the workpiece that was cut off between the conveyor table and the blade. Note—Use a precise measuring tool such as calipers or a micrometer.

3.Press the SET key.

4.Enter the thickness value of the cut-off piece measured in Step 2. For example, if the thickness is 1", press 1, 0, 0 on the key pad.

5.Press and hold the SET key for approxi- mately 5 seconds or until the display stops flashing.

The digital display is now calibrated and all blade height values displayed will be the same as the actual distance between the conveyor table and the bottom face of the bandsaw blade.
