The bandsaw is one of the most versatile cutting

tools in the shop and is capable of the following

cuts:

• Miters and angles

• Compound Angles

• Resaw Cuts

• Rip and Crosscuts

• Curves and Circles

• Stacked Cuts for Duplicate Parts

The blade is a flexible steel band with teeth on

one edge that fits around two aligned wheels with

slightly crowned rubber tires, which help the blade

track in the center of the wheels during opera

tion.

One wheel stays in a fixed position and is driven

by a motor. The other wheel spins freely and

adjusts toward or away from the fixed wheel,

which controls the tension of the installed blade.

This wheel usually also features a tracking control

that tilts the wheel forward or backward to ensure

the blade rides in the center of the wheel. The

rotation of both wheels pulls the blade downward

toward the table.

When a workpiece is pushed against the mov

ing blade, the downward force of the blade teeth

scrape across the workpiece and, in effect, cut

it. Blade guides on both sides of the cutting area

keep the blade from flexing or being pushed off

the wheels from the horizontal pressure of the

workpiece while cutting.

Since the purpose of the blade guides is to

provide support while cutting, they should be

as close as possible to the blade; however, the

blade guides should only touch the blade while a

workpiece is being cut, or the constant friction will

reduce the life of the blade. Also the upper blade

guide assembly should be adjusted as close as

possible to the workpiece to provide maximum

support and cover any unused area of the blade

with the blade guard.
