G0613/14 Swivel Mast Metal Cutting Bandsaw
The blade-to-vise squareness is factory set.
However, due to shipping and storage we recom
-
mend that you check the blade alignment yourself
to ensure the cuts will to be your standards
.
To adjust the blade-to-vise squareness:
1. DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM
POWER!
2. Make sure the blade is oiled, tensioned, and
tracking correctly, and that the guides and
stops are set.
3. Raise the bow, move the headstock to zero
(Figure 53) and lower the bow.
4. Place a quality square against the vise and
the side of the blade (Figur
e 54) to verify the
blade is square with the vise.
Figure 54. Checking blade squareness to vise.
Figure 53. Bow and headstock moved to zero.
—If blade is tilted and not perpendicular to
the vise surface as indicated by the square,
adjust the blade guide housing so it tilts the
blade square with the vise.
Note:
On the G0613 only one blade guide
can be tilted, and on the G
0614 both will
need to be tilted.
5. Slide both blade guards as far as you can
apart and lock into place.
Note: On the G0614, to access the cap
screws on the other blade guide, remove the
two Phillips head screws securing it,
then
move the limit switch and its bracket out of
the way.
6. Loosen the two cap screws, then alternately
adjust the four 4mm set screws to tilt the
blade guide assembly and the blade square
the vise. See Figur
e 55 or 56 for your model
of bandsaw.
