M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw
Operation Tips
The following tips will help you safely and effectively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the maximum life out of your saw blades.
Tips for horizontal cutting:
•Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length.
•Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to ensure a straight cut through the material and use the quick release vise feature to speed production.
•Let the blade reach full speed before engaging the workpiece.
•Never start a cut with the blade in contact with the workpiece.
•Examine chip color and form for signs of proper feed and speed rates.
•Keep drains free of chips for rapid return of coolant to the coolant pump.
•Wait until the blade has completely stopped before removing the workpiece from the vise, and avoid touching the cut
•Support long pieces so they won't fall when cut, and flag the ends to alert
•Adjust the blade guides as close as possible to the workpiece to minimize
•Use coolant when possible to increase blade life.
NOTICE
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day to pro- long blade life.
