Blade Lead

Bandsaw blades commonly wander off the cut line when sawing, as shown in Figure 61. This is called blade lead. Blade lead is commonly caused by too fast of a feed rate, a dull or abused blade, or improper tension. If your blade is sharp/undam- aged and you still have blade lead, perform the following instructions.

Figure 61. Blade leading away from line of cut.

To correct blade lead:

1.Use less pressure when feeding the workpiece through the cut.

2.Check that the miter slot or fence is parallel to the blade line, and correct if necessary.

3.Check for proper blade tension. If the blade tension is correct and it is not convenient to replace the blade, compensate for lead by skewing the fence or adjusting the table.

To skew your fence:

1.Cut a piece of scrap wood approximately 3⁄4" thick x 3" wide x 17" long. On a wide face of the board, draw a straight line parallel to the long edge.

2.Cut halfway through the board on the line by pushing it into the blade. Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.

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.

4.Loosen the four cap screws on top of the fence.

5.Skew the fence so it is parallel to the edge of the scrap piece. You may need to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to gain maxi- mum adjustment.

6.While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap screws.

To shift the table:

1.On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is perpendicular to the front edge.

2.Cut halfway through the board on the line by pushing it into the blade.

3.Turn the bandsaw OFF and wait for the blade to stop.

4.Loosen the table mounting bolts. Shift the table to compensate for the blade lead, then retighten the table bolts.

5.Repeat Steps 1–4until the blade cuts straight.
