Introduction
The bandsaw is an efficient and flexible wood-
working machine. However, the bandsaw func-
tions are inter-dependent and each one must be
properly set up and adjusted so that the entire
machine operates correctly.
For instance, in this SETUP section, you will do
an initial blade tensioning before adjusting the
blade tracking. This will also allow you to properly
adjust the table angle, positive stop, blade guides,
and support bearing.
To prepare the machine for safe cutting and good
results, take extra care when performing these
inter-dependent tasks and complete them in the
correct order.
