Why is my Bomar Saw cutting at a slant?
- K
  Katherine AndrewsAug 21, 2025
  A slanting cut on your Bomar Saw can be due to several reasons: * Wrongly adjusted or worn hard metal guides. * Wrongly adjusted cubes of the saw band guiding. * Worn bearings of the saw band guiding. * Wrongly adjusted or worn swarf brush. * Insufficient saw band stretching. * Wrong tooth system or a worn saw band. * Improperly balanced roller conveyor or a dirty feeding board. * Loosened guiding arm and guiding cube, or they are too far from the material. * Too fast cutting rate. * Unexpected oscillation in material quality.

  If your Bomar Saw is not starting, check if there is voltage in the socket. Also, check each FA relay if the transfer relay is closed (thermal protector). Finally, verify the limit switch of saw band stretching and covers closing.

What causes the saw arm to periodically rise and fall during the cut on my Bomar Saw?
- D
  Donna GomezSep 1, 2025
  If the saw arm periodically rises and falls during the cut, causing a short lifetime of the saw band, it may be due to backslash in driving wheel lodgement on the shaft or a worn channel for spring. Change the driving shaft for a long one, including new bearings, distance ring, driving wheel, spring, and covers with screws.

What to do if my Bomar Saw is cutting downing?
- V
  Vincent StevensAug 29, 2025
  If your Bomar Saw is cutting downing, this could be due to the geometry of hardmetal guiding cubes being wrongly adjusted or bearings of guiding cubes are used. The hardmetal guiding cubes must be adjusted and bearings of guiding cubes must be replaced.

What causes insufficient cut output on my Bomar Saw?
- K
  kaiserluisAug 28, 2025
  Insufficient cut output on your Bomar Saw may be caused by a worn saw band, the wrong saw band tooth system, or wrongly set down feed and speed of the saw band. Replace the saw band, keeping the manufacturer's instructions in mind, and set the feed and speed according to the saw band manufacturer's values.

Why is the cut not finished with my Bomar Saw?
- D
  Diane JohnsonAug 25, 2025
  If your Bomar Saw's cut is not finished, it could be due to a wrongly adjusted lower stop point of the saw frame or a messed-up stop point surface. Check the lower limit switch and screw, and cleanse the stop point surface of the limit switch from debris and residue material.
