How to reduce excessive vibration in my Woodstock bandsaw?
Excessive vibration in your Woodstock bandsaw can stem from several issues: 1. The machine may be sitting unevenly on the floor. Adjust the rubber feet or use shims. 2. The wheels might not be coplanar. Adjust the wheel alignment. 3. The tires could be incorrectly installed. Check, reinstall, or replace them. 4. The belt may be worn out. Replace the belt. 5. The blade might be bent or damaged. Replace the blade. 6. The wheels could be out of balance. Replace the wheels.
Why does my Woodstock SHOP FOX W1706 slow down during operation?
Your Woodstock Saw might be slowing down during operation due to several reasons: an excessive feed rate (reduce it), a dull blade (sharpen or replace it), using the incorrect blade for the operation (use the correct one), binding the blade when cutting curves (make more relief cuts or use the correct blade width), or a wet workpiece (sticker and allow to dry if moisture content is higher than 20%).
What causes a ticking sound when my Woodstock bandsaw is running?
A ticking sound when your Woodstock bandsaw is running could be due to the blade weld contacting guide bearings (smooth the blade weld with a stone), a damaged motor fan or cover (replace it), or a damaged blade with bent teeth (replace the blade).
What should I do if the blade is contacting the table insert on my Woodstock SHOP FOX W1706 Saw?
If the blade is contacting the table insert on your Woodstock Saw, it could be due to excessive side pressure on the blade when cutting; reduce the side pressure. Another reason could be that the table is not properly adjusted.
