Why is the motor running too hot on my Scantool Saw?
- M
  Marie SmithAug 15, 2025
  If the Scantool Saw motor is running too hot, there are several potential causes: * The blade tension may be too high, so reduce the tension on the blade. * The drive belt tension might be too high, so reduce tension on the drive belt. * The blade might be too coarse or too fine for the material, so use a finer or coarser blade, respectively. * The gears may be aligned improperly; adjust them so the worm is in the center of the path. * The gears may need lubrication; check the oil path. * The cut might be binding the blade; decrease the reed anti-speed.

How to fix bad (crooked) cuts with Scantool Saw?
- M
  mathewsjamesAug 18, 2025
  If your Scantool Saw is making bad (crooked) cuts, consider the following: 1. The feed pressure may be too great; reduce pressure by increasing spring tension on the side of the saw. 2. The guide bearings may not be adjusted properly; adjust the guide bearing to a clearance no greater than 0.001. 3. The blade tension might be inadequate; increase blade tension by adjusting the blade tension. 4. The blade might be dull; replace the blade. 5. The speed might be incorrect; adjust the speed. 6. The blade guides might be spaced out too much; adjust the guide space. 7. The blade guide assembly might be loose; tighten it. 8. The blade truck might be too far away from the wheel flanges; re-track the blade according to the operating instructions.

Why is my Scantool Saw blade dulling prematurely?
- J
  John DavenportAug 28, 2025
  If the Scantool Saw blade is prematurely dulling, consider the following: * The teeth may be too coarse; use finer teeth. * The speed may be too high; decrease speed. * The feed pressure may be inadequate; decrease spring tension on the side of the saw. * There may be hard spots or scale on the material; reduce speed and increase feed pressure. * There may be work hardening of the material; increase feed pressure by reducing spring tension. * The blade may be twisted; replace with a new blade and adjust blade tension. * There may be insufficient blade; tighten the blade tension adjustable knob. * The blade may be sliding; tighten blade tension.

- C
  Christine WallerSep 7, 2025
  If the teeth are ripping from the blade on your Scantool Saw, it could be due to: * The tooth being too coarse for the work; use a finer tooth blade. * Too heavy pressure or too slow speed; decrease pressure and increase speed.

Why is my Scantool Saw experiencing excessive blade breakage?
- L
  Lindsey AcostaNov 20, 2025
  Excessive blade breakage in a Scantool Saw can be attributed to several factors: * Materials may be loosening in the vise; clamp work securely. * The speed or feed may be incorrect; adjust the speed or feed. * The blade teeth spacing may be too large; replace with a small teeth spacing blade. * The material may be too coarse; use a blade of slow speed and small teeth spacing. * The blade tension may be incorrect; adjust to where the blade just does not slip on the wheel. * The teeth may be in contact with the material before the saw is started; place the blade in contact with work after the motor is started. * The blade may be rubbing on the wheel flange; adjust the wheel alignment. * The guide bearings may be misaligned; adjust the guide bearings. * The blade may be too...
