Blade Speed

The blade speed can be adjusted to 1700 or 3500 FPM. Speed adjustments are made by moving the V-belt position on the motor and wheel pul- leys.

Most woodcutting can be performed successfully at the higher blade speeds. Slower blade speeds generally produce better results when cutting hardwoods, intricate curves, or when an excep- tionally smooth cut is desired.

To adjust the blade speed:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Loosen the motor mount cap screws shown in Figure 47 and rotate the motor to loosen the V-belt.

3.Refer to Figure 48 to locate the correct V- belt position for the desired blade speed.
