Tilting Table

The bandsaw table tilts 15° to the left and 15° to the right for basic cut angles, and 10° to the front and 10° to the back for feed angles. When used together, compound angled cuts can be made.

To tilt the table left or right:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Use an 8mm wrench to loosen the two cap screws on the cut angle trunnion underneath the rear of the table (see Figure 27).

3.Using the cut angle tilt scale, adjust the angle of the table for your operation, then re- tighten the cap screws.

To tilt the table forward or backward:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Use a 6mm hex wrench to loosen both sets of cap screws on the two feed angle tilt scale brackets (see Figure 27).

3.Using the two scales, adjust the angle of the table for cutting a compound angle, then re- tighten the cap screws.

Blade Welding

Being able to quickly and safely weld a bandsaw blade comes in handy for the following situations:

Your metal cutting bandsaw is equipped with a blade welder that uses electrical current to heat and fuse the blade ends together. This process will leave the joint brittle, so an annealer is also included to give the blade strength and flexibility.

The electric current that flows through the blade welder during operation could cause serious personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of electrocution or burns, never touch any metal part of the welding station or blade during welding or annealing.

To weld the ends of blade together:

1.Turn the bandsaw motor OFF.

2.Place the blade evenly against the back of the blade shear and firmly pull the handle down to square off the blade end (see Figure 28).
