8. Blade Breakage Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to break Some of these conditions are unavoidable and are the natural result of the stresses placed on the bandsaw other causes of blade breakage are avoidable The most common causes of avoidable blade breakage are e Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade guides e Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a tight radius e Feeding the workpiece too fast e Dull or damaged teeth e Over tensioned blade e Top blade guide assembly set too high above the workpiece Adjust the top blade guide assembly so that there is approximately between the bottom of the assembly and the workpiece Understand that with smaller workpieces this may not be possible In these cases simply adjust the blade guide as far down as possible e Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld e Continuously running the bandsaw between operations e Leaving the blade tensioned when not in use e Using the wrong blade pitch TPI for the workpiece thickness The general rule of thumb is to have no fewer than three teeth in contact with the workpiece when starting a cut and at all times during cutting e Airin the hydraulic system causing the headstock to hop on the workpiece e Stacking workpieces for multiple cuts at once 25 Model SB1019 Blade Care amp Break In Blade Care To prolong blade life always use a blade with the proper wid
