Why is my MachineryHouse BS-912 blade breaking excessively?

  Excessive blade breakage in your MachineryHouse Saw can be caused by several factors. The materials may be loosening in the vise, so ensure you clamp the work securely. The speed or feed might be incorrect, requiring an adjustment. If the blade teeth spacing is too large, replace it with a blade with smaller teeth spacing. For coarse materials, use a blade with slow speed and small teeth spacing. Check and adjust the blade tension to prevent slipping on the wheel. Ensure the blade contacts the work after the motor starts to prevent damage. Adjust the wheel alignment if the blade rubs on the wheel flange. Misaligned guide bearings also contribute to breakage, so adjust them accordingly. If the blade is too thick, use a thinner blade. Finally, cracking at the weld may require re-welding.

What to do if my MachineryHouse Saw is making bad (crooked) cuts?

  If your MachineryHouse Saw is producing crooked cuts, several factors could be responsible. The feed pressure might be too high; reduce it by increasing the spring tension on the side of the saw. Ensure the guide bearings are properly adjusted with a clearance no greater than 0.001. Insufficient blade tension can also cause this issue, so increase the blade tension. A dull blade will also cause crooked cuts, so replace the blade. Adjust the speed if it is incorrect. Check that the blade guides are not spaced out too much and adjust the guide space. A loose blade guide assembly should be tightened. Finally, if the blade truck is too far away from the wheel flanges, re-track the blade according to the operating instructions.

Why is my MachineryHouse BS-912 motor running too hot?

  If your MachineryHouse Saw motor is overheating, several factors could be the cause. The blade tension may be too high, so reduce the tension on the blade. Similarly, excessive drive belt tension can cause overheating, so reduce the tension on the drive belt. Using a blade that is too coarse or too fine for the work can also cause the motor to overheat; use a finer or coarser blade as appropriate. If the gears are aligned improperly, adjust them so that the worm is in the center of the gear. Insufficient gear lubrication can also lead to overheating, so check the oil path. Finally, if the cut is binding the blade, decrease reed anti speed.
