Preparing the Saw Band Prior to Welding
Blade Cutter To cut the band apart or to cut the band to
a specified length, use the blade shear. The shear is
capable of cutting saw bands from 0.06” to 1” (1.6mm to
25.4mm) in width and 0.025” to 0.035” (0.63mm to
0.89mm) in thickness. To use the blade cutter, raise the
handle, lay the blade against the guide perpendicular to
the cutting knife, and make the cut.
If the saw band is not square after shearing, use the
grinding wheel to square it up. Take small cuts so as not
to overheat the blade band. To get both ends of the
band to match perfectly, twist it and hold the ends so
that the teeth are on opposite sides and pointing in opposite directions.
Now grind as shown below.
Tooth Spacing on Blade Band Occasionally one or more teeth may have to be ground off on
either side of the cut to ensure blade tooth uniformity.
CAUTION:
Shear Hazard
– Keep Hands From Under Blade.
