Blade Tracking / Top Idler Wheel Camber Adjustment
This adjustment aligns the tilt of the idler pulley with the drive pulley. If the wheel seems to be off
centered, making noise, follow these steps to properly align the blade.
1. With your hand, rotate the upper wheel while looking through the window at how the blade tracks.
Blade should track in the middle of wheels. If the blade is not in centered continue to next steps to
adjust.
2. On the back side of the bandsaw, loosen the locking nut located above the
tensioning lever.
3. If the adjusting screw-wheel is turned clockwise the blade will move further
back on the wheel, and turning the screw-wheel counter-clockwise moved
the blade towards the front of the wheel.
4. Make adjustments while you turn the upper wheel by hand, continue to adjust until proper blade
tracking is achieved. Lock blade down using the lower locking knob.
Blade Guide Adjustment
1. Loosen the guide assembly by turning the small knob.
2. With the blade guides loose pull both of them back to expose the rear thrust bearing.
3. Unlock the guide post lock handle and move guide assembly forward until back of blade is barely
touching the ceramic thrust bearing surface. Lock in place using the guide post locking handle.
4. Slide right and left blade guide forward until ceramic guides are about 1/8” from the gullets of the
blade. Lock in position using the small knob on the right.
5. Move right and left blade guide in so that both sides are barely touching the
blade. Lock into position using the 2 adjustment knobs in the front of the
guide assembly.
NOTE:
Do not deflect or pinch the blade!
6. Using your hand track the blade through the guides to make sure the blade
is not binding and that the weld can pass through the guides. Make sure to do at least 2 full
revolutions.
NOTE:
If the weld is binding between the guide adjust the guides wider by about the
width of a piece of paper. Re-test blade by hand to re-check.
7. Repeat steps for lower blade guide assembly. Lower guide is easier to access when table is
adjusted to 45°.
Note:
Rotate the back guide by approximately 15 degrees after every 8 hours of
use. This will extend the life of the back blade guide, as it will even out the wear.
