TRACKING THE BLADE

For accurate work and maximum blade life, it is important that the blade (A) Fig. 20, be centered on the upper band saw wheel. When this adjustment is properly made, the blade will “track” – that is, it will run steady in the same line. To “track” the blade, proceed as follows:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2.Make sure the correct blade tension is applied to the saw blade and make sure the blade guides and blade support bearings are clear of the blade so as not to interfere with the tracking adjustment.

3.Rotate the upper wheel (B) Fig. 20, slowly by hand to determine if the blade is riding on the center of the wheel.

4.If the blade is not riding on the center of the wheel, loosen lock nut (C) Fig. 21, and while turning the upper wheel by hand, turn tracking adjusting nut (D) slightly clockwise or counterclockwise. You will notice that the saw blade will move to the right or left on the wheel. NEVER RUN THE SAW TO TRACK THE BLADE.

5.When the blade is tracking properly, tighten lock nut (C) Fig. 21.

6.Close wheel covers after adjustment is made.

28-195 specifications

The Delta 28-195 is a renowned table saw that has garnered a reputation among woodworkers for its precision, reliability, and ease of use. This powerful tool is designed to handle a variety of cutting tasks, making it a versatile addition to any workshop.

One of the main features of the Delta 28-195 is its robust 1.75 HP motor, which delivers ample power for cutting through dense materials with ease. This performance is critical for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists who demand high-quality results. The saw operates on 120V power, allowing for convenient plug-and-play usage in most home workshops or job sites.

The Delta 28-195 boasts an impressive blade capacity of 10 inches, enabling users to make clean, precise cuts across a wide range of wood types and thicknesses. The table itself is generously sized, providing ample workspace for large projects and facilitating straightforward material handling. The table is also constructed from durable cast iron, ensuring stability while reducing vibrations during operation, which contributes to enhanced accuracy.

Another highlight of the Delta 28-195 is its advanced fence system. The fence is easy to adjust and locks securely in position, allowing for quick and accurate measurements for ripping tasks. The presence of a large and easy-to-read scale enhances operational efficiency, making it simple for woodworkers to set the desired dimensions before making their cuts.

Delta has also incorporated several safety features into the 28-195 model. The blade guard protects users from accidental contact with the spinning blade, while the riving knife helps prevent kickback, an essential aspect of safe table saw operation. Furthermore, the saw includes push sticks and other accessories to aid in maintaining safe distances from the blade during operations.

Dust collection is another critical area where the Delta 28-195 excels. Equipped with a 2.5-inch dust port, the saw connects easily to a dust collection system, helping to keep the workspace clean and reducing airborne particles, which can be harmful to health.

In conclusion, the Delta 28-195 table saw combines robust performance, advanced features, and enhanced safety, making it an excellent choice for both amateur and professional woodworkers. Its blend of technology, durability, and efficiency ensures that users can achieve precise cuts time and time again, making it a worthy investment for those serious about their craft.
