MINIMUM CUTTING RADIUS

Turning radius may vary depending on the type of blade and amount of set. Each blade, however, depending on its width, can cut continuously without backtracking any curve having a radius as much or more than the specified minimum turning radius of the blade, as shown in the chart (A) Fig. 35, located inside top wheel cover.

Always use the widest blade possible and limit use of narrow blades for sawing small, abrupt curves and for fine, delicate work.

ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

If the drive belt on your band saw needs adjusted, proceed as follows:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2.The belt (A) Fig. 36, drives the saw pulley from the motor pulley. Correct tension of the belt (A) is when there is approximately 1/4" deflection in the center span of the belt (A) using light finger pressure. If the belt tension needs adjustment, loosen three screws, two of which are shown at (B) Fig. 37, and rotate motor accordingly. Tighten three screws, two of which are shown at (B) when adjustment is completed.

TIRE BRUSH

A tire brush (A) Fig. 38, is provided on the lower wheel to keep the blade and tires clean and free of any build-up of chips. Adjustment of the brush (A) can be made by loosening the mounting hardware (B) and adjusting the brush (A) accordingly.

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.
