Resumen del manual
Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade and continue with the cut until the blade is completely through the workpiece. Figure 48 shows a typical ripping operation. Note: If you are cutting narrow pieces, use a push stick to protect your fingers. Figure 48. Example of typical ripping operation with a push stick. Awarning NEVER place fingers or hands in the line of cut. In the event that something unexpected happens, your hands or fingers may slip into the blade. ALWAYS use a push stick when ripping narrow pieces. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious personal injury! -36- Model G0568/G0569 (Mfg. 10/04+) Crosscutting Resawing Crosscutting is the process of cutting across the grain of wood. For plywood and other processed wood, crosscutting simply means cutting across the width of the material. To make a 90° crosscut: 1. Mark the workpiece on the edge where you want to begin the cut. 2. Adjust the blade guide assembly to the correct height and make sure the miter gauge is set to 0°. 3. Move the fence out of the way. Place the workpiece evenly against the miter gauge. 4. Hold the workpiece against the miter gauge and line up the mark with the blade. 5. After all safety precautions have been met, turn the bandsaw ON. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade and continue the cut until the blade is all the way through the workpiece. Figure 49 shows a typical crosscutting operation. Figure 49. Example of crosscutting operation with miter gauge. Resawing (Figure 50) is the process of cutting a board into two or more thinner boards. The maximum board width that can be resawn is limited by the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw. One of the most important considerations when resawing is blade selection. Generally, wider blades are better. In most applications, a hook or a skip tooth style will be desirable. Choose blades with fewer teeth-per-inch (from 3 to 6), because they offer larger gullet capacities for clearing sawdust, reducing heat buildup and reducing strain on the motor. ▲WARNING When resawing thin pieces, a wandering blade (blade lead) can tear through the surface of the workpiece, exposing your hands to the blade teeth. Always use push blocks when resawing and keep your hands clear of the blade. To resaw a workpiece: 1. Verify that the bandsaw is setup properly and that the fence is parallel to the blade. 2. Adjust the upper blade guide so it is about 1" above the workpiece with a minimum amount of blade exposed. 3. Install the optional Model H7528 resaw fence (see Accessories, Page 43), set it to the desired width of cut, and lock it in place. NOTICE The scale on the front rail will NOT be accurate when using the resaw fence. 4. Support the ends of the board if necessary. 5. Turn the bandsaw ON. 6. Using push paddles and a push stick, keep pressure against the fence and table, and slowly feed the workpiece into the moving blade until the blade is completely through the workpiece (see Figure 50). Model G0568/G0569 (Mfg. 10/04+) -37- Figure 50. Example of resawing lumber. Cutting Curves When cutting curves, simultaneously feed and turn the stock carefully so that the blade follows the layout line without twisting. If a curve is so abrupt that it is necessary to repeatedly back up and cut a new kerf, use either a narrower blade or a blade with more TPI (teeth per inch), or make more relief cuts. Always make short cuts first, then proceed to the longer cuts. Relief cuts will also reduce the chance that the blade will be pinched or twisted. Relief cuts are cuts made through the waste portion of the workpiece and are stopped at the layout line. As you cut along the layout line, waste wood is released from the workpiece, alleviating any pressure on the back of the blade. Relief cuts also make backing the workpiece out easier, if needed. NOTICE The list below displays blade widths and the corresponding minimum radii for those blade widths. Width Radius 1/s" ... ................................Vs" 3/16".. ................................3/s" W ... ................................5/s'' 3/s" ... ................................11/4'' W' ... ................................212'' 5/s" ... ................................33/4'' ................................5W Blade Lead It is common for a bandsaw blade to wander off the cut line when sawing as shown in Figure 51. This is called blade lead. Figure 51. Blade leading away from line of cut. To correct blade lead: 1. Check that the miter slot or fence is parallel to the blade line, and correct if necessary. 2. Check for proper blade tension. If the blade tension is correct and it is not convenient to replace the blade, compensate for lead by adjusting the table. To shift the table: 1. On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that is perpendicular to the front edge. 2. Cut the board on the line by pushing it into the blade with the miter gauge. 3. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER! 4.
