1. Zz lt ja il Remember Too much flow at the cutting fluid nozzle will make a mess and can make the work area unsafe and not enough fluid at the cut will heat the blade causing the blade teeth to load up and break Adjust the flow rate lever so the coolant will cool and lubricate the blade and flush the chips away so they do not stick to the blade If the chips build up on the blade eventually they will bind and skid in the next cut breaking blade teeth and damaging the bandsaw wheels 26 M1014 7 x 12 Metal Cutting Bandsaw HOP FOX Feed Rate The speed at which the saw blade will cut through a workpiece is controlled by blade type feed rate and feed pressure 2 Note If lubricant is used on the cut the feed rate be increased by approximately 15 To set the feed rate do these steps Feed 1 Raise the headstock Se Rate Dial and Valve 2 Using a 14mm wrench adjust the feed pressure tension spring so the spring coils are not in tension but the spring is still held firmly in place see Figure 41 Note This spring adjustment is an initial setting and depending on cutting circumstances you will have Feed Press re C to fine tune the feed pressure with this adjustment Tenson prie Increasing the spring tension will reduce the feed Adjustment pressure 3 Clamp the workpiece in the table v2.

4. 23 U m 5 OPERATIONS M1014 7 x 12 Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Selection The chart below is a basic starting point for choosing blade type based on teeth per inch for variable tooth pitch blades and for standard raker type bi metal blades HSS blades However for exact specifications of bandsaw blades contact the blade manufacturer There are three general rules of thumb with respect to bandsaw blade use At least three teeth must contact the metal at any phase of the cut Otherwise the teeth can load up with metal fracture and break off If the TPI is too high the teeth can load up with material and overheat damaging the blade For a faster but rougher cut use a blade with a lower TPI and a higher feed rate For a slower but smoother cut use a blade with a lower TPI and a lower feed rate To select the correct blade TPI do these steps 1 Measure the material thickness This measurement is the length of cut taken from where the tooth enters the workpiece sweeps through and exits the workpiece 2 Refer to the Material Thickness row of the blade selection chart in Figure 36 and read across to find your workpiece thickness you need to cut 3 Refer to the Shape of metal and Material Type columns and find the shape and material to be cut 4 n the applicable row read across to the right and find the box where the row and column intersect Li
