Blade Speed

Blade Speed

The Model G0664 has a two-speed control with settings of 160 and 320 feet per minute (FPM). The speed is controlled by a rotary switch and can be switched while the motor is operating. The speed should not be switched during a cut.

The table shown in Figure 37 is a sampling of speed rates for various materials. Use these as a guideline, and use the cutting fluid system on your bandsaw to get the most life from your blades.

NOTICE

DO NOT change motor speed during a cut as this may overload a series of engaged blade teeth, resulting in damage to the blade and possible blade breakage.
