G0640X 17" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

-43-

As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the

wheels may need to be redressed if they harden or

glaze over. Redressing the rubber tires improves

blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.

If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade

tracking will become extremely difficult. At that

point, redressing will no longer be effective and

the rubber tires must be replaced.

To redress the rubber tires:

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Put on heavy leather gloves.

3. Remove the blade.

4. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber

tires.

5. Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rub-

ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. Only

redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh

rubber surface.

Table Trunnions

1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Wipe the old grease off the bearing surfaces

of the table trunnions. Start with the outward

side of the table trunnions (

Figure 59) when

the table is at 0°, then tilt the table to 45° and

wipe off the inward side. The old grease will

be contaminated with wood or metal dust,

so you want to remove as much of it as you

can.

3. Use mineral spirits or the degreaser shown

in Figure 4 on Page 12 to clean any remain-

ing grease from the trunnions. Make sure to

thoroughly wipe off the degreaser or mineral

spirits after use so they won't contaminate

the new grease.

4. Use a small, clean brush to apply automotive-

grade multi-purpose grease to the trunnion

bearing surfaces. After applying, tilt the table

back and forth from 0° to 45° to distribute the

grease.
