Dust Collection

⚠CAUTION

DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect a dust collection hose:

1. Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port and secure them in place with a hose clamp (see Figure 36).

Figure 36. Dust hose attached to bottom dust port.

2. Tug the hoses to make sure they do not come off.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.

Adjustment Overview

The bandsaw is one of the most versatile woodworking machines. However, it has multiple components that must be properly adjusted for the best cutting results.

For practical and safety reasons, some adjustments and test operations must be performed before performing other necessary adjustments. Below is an overview of all the adjustments and the order in which they should be performed:

1. Initial Blade Tracking
2. Test Run
3. Tensioning Blade
4. Fine Tune Tracking
5. Adjusting Blade Support Bearings
6. Adjusting Blade Guides
7. Aligning Table
8. Aligning Fence

I nitial Blade Tracking

"Tracking" refers to how the blade rides on the bandsaw wheels. Proper tracking is important for maintaining bandsaw adjustments, achieving correct blade tension, and cutting accurately. Improper tracking reduces cutting accuracy, causes excess vibrations, and places stress on the blade and other bandsaw components. The shape of the wheels and the orientation of the wheels in relation to each other determine how the blade tracks.

Bandsaw wheels are either flat or crowned and both shapes track differently. This bandsaw has crowned wheels. As the wheels spin, a properly tracking blade naturally tracks at the center of the wheel (see Figure 37).

Figure 37. Blade centered on crown of wheel.

Blade tracking is primarily affected by the tilt of the upper wheel, known as "center tracking." However, the alignment of both wheels plays an important part as well (see Aligning Wheels on Page 71 for more details).

The wheels on this bandsaw were aligned at the factory, so center tracking is the only adjustment that needs to be performed when the saw is new.

!WARNING

Serious personal injury can occur if the machine starts while your hand is touching the bandsaw wheel during tracking adjustments. Disconnect power from the bandsaw before performing blade tracking adjustments.

To adjust blade tracking:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Adjust upper and lower blade guides away from blade, and raise upper guides approximately 2/3 of the way up (refer to Adjusting Blade Guides on Page 35 for detailed instructions).

   Note: When adjusting the blade tracking for the test run in this procedure, the blade must have approximately the same amount of tension as when under operating conditions. After the test run is successfully completed, you will be instructed on how to more accurately tension the blade for optimum results.

3. Move blade tension quick-release lever down to apply tension to blade.

4. Open upper wheel cover.

5. Rotate blade tension handwheel until tension scale (see Figure 38) is between 4 and 6. Rotate handwheel clockwise to increase blade tension. Rotate handwheel counter-clockwise to decrease blade tension.

Figure 38. Blade tensioning controls.

6. Loosen the lock lever on the back of the bandsaw (see Figure 39) so that the blade tracking knob can rotate.

CAUTION

The wheels may have sharp edges, and the blade teeth may extend beyond the edge, creating a laceration hazard. Be careful when turning the wheels by hand.

7. Rotate upper wheel by hand several times and watch how blade rides on crown of wheel. Refer to Figure 37 on Page 27 for an illustration of this concept.

   — If the blade consistently rides in the center of the upper wheel, it is tracking properly and no adjustments are necessary; proceed to Step 9.

   — If the blade does not consistently ride in the center of the upper wheel, it is not tracking properly; proceed to Step 8.

8. Adjust tracking control knob (see Figure 39) in small amounts and continue to rotate upper wheel by hand at the same time until blade consistently rides in center of bandsaw tire.

Figure 39. Blade tracking controls.

9. Tighten tracking control lock lever, then close and secure upper wheel cover.

   Note: For the best performance from your saw, regularly maintain proper tracking of the blade. Fine tune tracking must be done with the bandsaw turned ON. Refer to Page 33 for more information.

Tensioning Blade

A properly tensioned blade is essential for making accurate cuts, maximizing blade life, and making other bandsaw adjustments. However, a properly tensioned blade will not compensate for cutting problems caused by excessive feed rate, hardness variations between workpieces, and improper blade selection.

Optimal cutting results for any type of workpiece are achieved through a combination of correct blade selection, proper blade tension, properly adjusted blade guides and other bandsaw components, and using an appropriate feed rate.

Improper blade tension is unsafe, produces inaccurate and inconsistent results, and introduces unnecessary wear on bandsaw components. Over-tensioning the blade increases the chance of the blade breaking or wheel misalignment. Under-tensioned blades wander excessively while cutting and will not track properly during operation.

The method used to tension the blade is often a matter of preference. This manual describes two methods: the flutter method and the deflection method. Either method will help you properly tension the blade. Experience and personal preference will help you decide which method you prefer.

Note: Tensioning the blade before the Test Run was an approximate tension. The following procedures fine-tune the blade tension.

The Flutter Method

Using the flutter method, you intentionally loosen the blade until it just passes the point of being too loose (when it begins to flutter). Then you gradually tighten the blade until proper tension is reached.

To tension bandsaw blade using flutter method:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Make sure the blade is properly center tracking as instructed in Initial Blade Tracking on Page 27.
3. Raise guide post all the way, and move upper and lower guide bearings away from blade (refer to Page 35 for more information).
4. Engage blade tension quick-release lever to apply tension to blade.
5. Connect bandsaw to power, then turn it ON.
6. Use blade tension handwheel to slowly decrease blade tension until you see blade start to flutter.
7. Slowly increase tension until blade stops fluttering, then tighten blade tension adjustment knob an additional 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn.
8. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
9. Adjust blade guides as described in Adjusting Blade Support Bearings and Adjusting Blade Guides on Pages 34–35.

-32- G0513 Series Bandsaws (Mfd. Since 08/22)

The Deflection Method

The deflection method is much more subjective than the flutter method. Each blade will deflect differently and every user will determine what "moderate pressure" means. The following are general guidelines for tensioning the blade with this method.

To tension bandsaw blade using deflection method:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Make sure the blade is properly tracking as instructed in the Initial Blade Tracking on Page 27.
3. Raise guide post all the way and move upper and lower guide bearings away from blade (refer to Page 35 for more information).
4. Engage blade tension quick-release lever to apply tension to blade.
5. Using moderate pressure, push center of blade sideways. — If blade deflects approximately 1/4", it is properly tensioned. Proceed to Step 6. — If blade deflects less than 1/4", it is over-ten-sioned. Rotate blade tension handwheel counterclockwise two full turns and repeat Step 5. — If blade deflects 1/4" or more, blade is not properly tensioned. Rotate blade tension handwheel clockwise to incrementally ten-sion blade, and repeat Step 5 until blade is properly tensioned.
6. Adjust blade guides as described in Adjusting Blade Support Bearings and Adjusting Blade Guide on Pages 34–35.

Fine Tune Tracking

During setup, the blade was tracked without the machine connected to power (refer to Page 27). In this procedure, the bandsaw is turned ON to perform fine tuning of the tracking. Make small changes with the blade tracking knob as you monitor the effect on the blade tracking.

To fine tune blade tracking:

1. Close wheel covers and turn bandsaw ON.
2. Observe blade tracking path through clear tracking window on right edge of bandsaw (see Figures 44–45).

Figure 44. Example of blade, viewed through tracking window.

3. If necessary, loosen tracking control lock lever and use tracking control knob (see Figure 45) to adjust the blade so it tracks on the center of the wheel.
4. Tighten tracking control lock lever (see Figure 45) to secure setting, then turn machine OFF.

Figure 45. Fine-tune tracking controls.

Adjusting Blade Support Bearings

The support bearings are positioned behind the blade near the blade guides and prevent the blade from pushing backward during cutting operations. Proper adjustment of the support bearings helps you make accurate cuts and prevents the blade teeth from coming in contact with the blade guides while cutting. If this happens, the blade "tooth set" can be ruined, which will greatly reduce the blade's ability to make good cuts.

There are support bearings on the upper and lower blade guide assemblies. Both adjust in the same manner. The following instructions refer to the upper support bearings.

Important: To ensure best results while cutting, make sure the blade is tracking and tensioned correctly before performing this procedure.

Tools Needed

To adjust support bearing:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen support bearing adjustment screw (see Figure 46).

Figure 46. Upper support bearing controls.

3. Position support bearing approximately 0.016" away from back of blade, as illustrated in Figure 47.

Note: The main purpose of this adjustment is to prevent the blade from being pushed backward far enough that the blade guides will contact (and ruin) the "tooth set" of the blade during cutting operations.

Figure 47. Bearing positioned approximately 0.016" away from back of blade.

4. Tighten adjustment cap screw to lock support bearing in place.

Adjusting Blade Guides

The blade guides provide side-to-side support to keep the blade straight while cutting. These guides are adjustable in two ways—forward-and-back and side-to-side.

To keep the blade straight while cutting, the blade guides must be as close to the sides of the blade without exerting any clamping pressure. This distance is typically about 0.004".

To prevent damage to the blade teeth as the blade deflects back while cutting, the guides must be behind the teeth gullets the same amount as the support bearing is behind the blade, which is typically about 0.016" (see Figure 47 on the previous page for an illustration of this relationship).

Note: Models G0513 and G0513A40 use carbide discs as guides; models G0513X2 and G0513X2BF use ball bearings.

NOTICE

Before adjusting the blade guides, make sure the blade is tracking properly (Page 27) and that it is correctly tensioned (Page 32).

IMPORTANT: Although the function and the distance adjustment of the blade guides is the same for all the G0513 Series Models, the guide controls are not all the same. Use the set of instructions on the following pages that is correct for your model of bandsaw.

Models G0513 & G0513A40

Tools Needed

Aligning Table

To ensure cutting accuracy, the table should be aligned so that the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade, and that the table is perpendicular (front to back) to the blade. These procedures work best with a wide (3/4") blade installed.

Tools Needed Qty

• Straightedge ........ 1
• Fine Ruler ........ 1
• Square ........ 1
• Wrench or Socket 13mm ........ 1

Adjusting Miter Slot Parallelism

1. Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned (refer to Pages 34–35).
2. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
3. Place an accurate straightedge along blade so that it lightly touches both front and back of blade without going across a tooth (see Figure 55).
4. Use a fine ruler to measure the distance between the straightedge and the miter slot (see Figure 55). The distance should be the same at the front and the back of the table. — If the distance is the same at the front and back of the table, no adjustment is necessary; proceed to Adjusting Table Perpendicular to Blade on Page 39. — If the distance is not the same at the front and back of the table, it must be adjusted; proceed to Step 5.

Figure 55. Checking miter slot parallelism.

5. Loosen trunnion bolts that secure table (see Figure 56).

Figure 56. Location of trunnion bolts.

6. Adjust table until distance between straightedge and miter slot is the same at front and back of table.
7. Retighten trunnion bolts, then repeat Step 4 to verify adjustment.

Adjusting Table Perpendicular to Blade

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Place a square on the table and against the back of the blade, as shown in Figure 57. The table should be perpendicular to the back of the blade.

   — If the table is perpendicular to the back of the blade, no adjustment is necessary; proceed to Aligning Fence on This Page.

   — If the table is not perpendicular to the back of the blade, you must shim the table; proceed to Step 3.

Figure 57. Squaring back of blade and table.

3. Determine which trunnion is on the low side of the table, then remove two trunnion bolts from the low trunnion.

4. Insert a shim, such as a thin washer, between the table and low trunnion at each mounting location.

5. Re-install and tighten the trunnion bolts, then repeat Step 2 to verify the adjustment.

Aligning Fence

To ensure cutting accuracy, the fence should be aligned parallel with the blade. This is achieved by aligning the fence to the miter slot after miter slot parallelism is properly adjusted, as instructed on Page 38.

Note: Occasionally, even after aligning the fence, a symptom known as "blade lead" will develop, requiring the fence to be skewed slightly to compensate for the blade lead problem. Refer to Blade Lead on Page 67 for more information on blade lead and skewing the fence.
