If the motor of your Wen Saw doesn't start, first, make sure the unit is properly plugged in. If it is, there may be a defective power switch, power cord, start capacitor, or even a defective motor. For assistance with these issues, it's best to contact customer service.
Why is my Wen Saw cut squaring inaccurate?
Inaccurate cut squaring with your Wen Saw can occur for several reasons. It may be due to excessive cutting pressure from an incorrect feed rate, or an incorrect choice of blade tooth count. Also, check the adjustment of the sliding blade guides to ensure they are as close to the workpiece as possible. Incorrect cutting speeds, a workpiece not securely clamped or improperly positioned, or poor blade tension can also cause this issue. Contact customer service if the blade is warped.
Why does my Wen BA4664 stall or feel underpowered?
If your Wen Saw is stalling or feels underpowered, it could be due to a few reasons. You might be using the wrong blade for the workpiece material, so try using a different blade that's more suited to the material type. Also, inspect the V-belt for wear or looseness and replace it if needed. Finally, check if the pulley is loose; if so, realign the pulleys and tighten the set screws.
Why does my Wen BA4664 vibrate or operate noisily?
If your Wen Saw is vibrating or operating noisily, several factors could be the cause. First, verify that the belt cover was installed properly, as the V-belt might be hitting it. Also, inspect the V-belt for wear or looseness and replace it if necessary. Check if the pulley is loose; if it is, realign the pulleys and tighten the set screws. Contact customer service if you suspect worn bearings.
What to do if teeth are ripping from the blade of my Wen BA4664?
If teeth are ripping from the blade of your Wen Saw, it could be because the feed rate is too high, the blade speed is too slow, or the blade is too coarse for the workpiece. Try decreasing the feed rate, adjusting the blade speed, or replacing the blade. Also, ensure the workpiece is securely clamped, using a jig if necessary. If the blade teeth gullets are loading up with chips, switch to a coarser-tooth blade.
Why does the blade on my Wen Saw tend to protrude from the guide bearings?
If the blade on your Wen Saw tends to protrude from the guide bearings, it could be due to excessive blade tension, so check the blade tension. Another possible cause is incorrect tracking adjustment, so adjust the blade tracking. Blade slippage on the guide bearings might occur if cutting oil has been used; it is not recommended to use lubricant or coolant with this bandsaw.

The WEN BA4664 is a 4-inch by 6-inch metal bandsaw designed for cutting flat and round pieces of metal. This tool is engineered for dependability, ease of operation, and operator safety, providing years of rugged, trouble-free performance when properly cared for and used for its intended purpose.
The WEN BA4664 metal bandsaw is primarily used for precision cutting of various metal workpieces. It can operate in both horizontal and vertical cutting positions, offering versatility for different project requirements. In horizontal cutting, it utilizes a work stop for quickly and accurately cutting multiple pieces of stock to the same length. For vertical cutting, it can be assembled with a vertical table assembly to support workpieces that cannot be properly stabilized with a vise. The saw features adjustable blade guides to minimize side-to-side blade movement and a vise for securing workpieces at various angles (0° to 45°). The feed rate is controlled by a spring and handle mechanism, allowing users to adjust the tension to decrease or increase the feed rate. Blade speed is also adjustable, offering three different settings to accommodate various metal types and cutting needs. A head locking pin is included to safely secure the saw head in the down position when not in use or during transport, preventing unexpected movement.
The WEN BA4664 is designed with several features to enhance usability and safety.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the WEN BA4664.
The manual emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding all safety warnings and instructions before operating the tool to prevent electric shock, fire, and serious injury. It also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues such as the motor not starting, machine stalling, noisy operation, inaccurate cuts, and blade protrusion.
