Blade Tracking

Blade tracking describes the way the blade rides on the bandsaw wheels. A properly tracking blade will ride within 1⁄16" of the wheel shoulder without touching it and will not wander back and forth when the blade is running. Blade tracking only needs to be adjusted if the blade rubs against the wheel shoulder or moves more than 1⁄16" away from the shoulder.

Tool Needed	Qty
Wrench or Socket 14mm	1
To adjust the blade tracking:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Open the wheel access cover.

3.Loosen, but do not remove the lower hex bolt in the blade wheel tilting mechanism shown in Figure 38.

5.Adjust the tracking set screw shown in Figure 39, then tighten the lower hex bolt loosened in Step 3.

—Tightening the tracking set screw will move the blade closer to the shoulder of the wheel.

—Loosening the tracking set screw will move the blade away from the shoulder.

6.Tension the blade.

7.Put the gearbox in neutral by moving the gear change knob between two of the speed positions and spin the wheel by hand.

—If the blade tracks along the shoulder of the wheel (without rubbing), the blade is tracking properly and this adjustment is complete.

—If the blade moves away from the shoulder of the wheel or hits the shoulder, repeat Steps 3–7.

8.Turn the bandsaw OFF, disconnect it from power, then replace the blade guard and wheel access cover.
