To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is my Jet Saw blade dull so quickly?
A Jet Saw blade may dull quickly if the blade speed is too fast, so try using a slower speed. It could also be that you're using the wrong blade for the material, so ensure you're using the proper blade for the workpiece. An excessive feed rate can also cause this issue, so decrease the feed rate.
Why are my Jet Saw cuts not straight?
If your Jet Saw is not cutting straight, it could be due to several reasons. The blade tooth might have an improper set, in which case you should file it to the proper set or replace the blade. Inadequate blade tension could also be the cause, so try increasing the tension. Ensure the guide post isn't too high; set it closer to the workpiece. Also, a feed rate that's too strong can cause this issue, so decrease the feed rate.
What to do if the Jet VBS-2012 Saw blade slips off the wheel?
If the blade on your Jet Saw keeps slipping off the wheel, it might be due to inadequate blade tension. Try increasing the tension. If that doesn't solve the problem, the wheels may not be aligned properly.
How to fix a warped blade on Jet VBS-2012 Saw?
If your Jet Saw blade is warping, it could be due to a dull blade, so try sharpening or replacing it. Ensure the guide post is properly fixed in position. Insufficient blade tension can also cause warping, so increase the tension. Additionally, check that the blade is at a 90° angle to the table and adjust the table if necessary.
Why is my Jet Band Saw noisy or vibrating too much?
If your Jet Band Saw is excessively noisy or vibrating, ensure it is resting on a level surface. The floor must be flat. A damaged variable speed pulley could also be the cause, so consider replacing the pulley.
What causes Jet VBS-2012 blade teeth to keep breaking?
If the blade teeth on your Jet Saw keep breaking, it could be due to using the incorrect blade for the job, so select the proper blade pitch and style. It may also be caused by the blade being of inferior material, so use a better quality blade.
Why does the weld break when I use my Jet VBS-2012 Saw?
If the weld on your Jet Saw blade breaks during use, it could be because the weld is weak and incomplete, potentially with blow holes. In this case, cut and re-weld the blade ends. Another reason could be that the weld has been ground too thin, so again, cut and re-weld the blade ends. Finally, the weld might have been incorrectly annealed.
Why is my Jet VBS-2012 Saw blade becoming damaged easily?
A Jet Saw blade can become damaged easily if it has been over-annealed, so decrease the annealing temperature. Too large a gap between the blade guides and the blade can also cause damage, so adjust the gap accordingly. Also, a blade that is too wide for short radius cutting can be problematic, so select a narrower blade appropriate for the job.
Why is my Jet Saw blade twisted?
A Jet Saw blade can twist if it has been improperly welded. The blade may also be twisted if it was not installed properly, in this case, set guide inserts closer, and increase blade tension. If you are feeding the workpiece too forcefully, decrease the feed rate. Finally, the blade may be twisted because of an incorrect choice of blade, so use proper width blade for radius or wavy line cutting.
Why doesn't my Jet Band Saw come up to speed?
If your Jet Band Saw is not reaching its full speed, the extension cord might be too light or too long, so replace it with an adequate size and length cord.
