DESCRIPTION
Handlebars (FIG. 5)
The saw carriage is operated and moved for- ward with a
Cleaning Tank (FIG. 5)
The saw carriage is equipped with a cleaning tank (3). The tank is located beside the handle- bars. Cleaning fluid is applied to the blade by opening the tank valve.
Band Wheels (FIG 6)
The bandsaw blade runs over two band wheels (26), which are made of cast aluminium and are balanced to provide smooth operation. The band wheels are equipped with bearings, and are adjustable, partly to tension the bandsaw blade and partly to adjust the correct alignment of the bandsaw blade.
The band wheels are fitted with scrapers so that sawdust and the like does not penetrate between the bandsaw blade and the band wheel.
One of the band wheels is powered by the engine/motor via an adjustable belt.
Bandsaw and Band Guide (FIG 6)
Two band guides (8) are used to keep the bandsaw blade (9) in the correct position during cutting. One of the band guides is placed in front of the powered band wheel and ensures correct entry onto the wheel. The other band guide is adjustable and is positioned above the bandsaw blade before it runs onto the log. This band guide absorbs the forces from the log and prevents the bandsaw blade from shifting.
