GUIDE ARM POSITIONING
The S-23P guide arms are adjustable to
accommodate varying material widths. The guide
arms should be adjusted as close to the material
width as possible while still allowing the material to
pass between them. This process of matching the
guide arm width to the material size is important to
optimize blade life.
To adjust the guide arms the locking handles are
loosened and then the guide arms will slide on the
main guide bar which holds them. To loosen the
handle it should be turned counterclockwise and to
retighten the handle,it is turned clockwise. The photo
illustrates the guide arms with the handles in the
locked position.
COOLANT FLOW
The main coolant control is found on the control panel.
WASH - Constant flow.
OFF - No flow
ON - Coolant flows if the blade is running.
The S-23P bandsaw is equipped with two independently controlled
coolant spouts that are capable of supplying a generous flow of coolant to
the blade.
The left guide arm supplies a flow of coolant that should flood the blade
as it moves through the carbide pads into the material to be cut. The
adjustable spout on the left guide arm should be set with the blade speed
to provide the flood of coolant necessary.
The right guide arm provides a coolant flow through the flexible hose
that can be pointed directly where necessary. This flexible hose should be
used when cutting solid bars, bundles, or wide structurals. Set the flow of coolant directly into the opening in the
material where the blade is cutting.
NOTE: When cutting materials that do not need constant coolant, such as Cast Iron, some coolant flow is
required for blade lubrication to prevent blade scoring by the carbide pads as the blade moves through them.
