CUTTING BAND SAW

Operating and Maintenance Instructions

The 20" Wood Cutting Band Saw is fully enclosed in a welded steel cabinet. It is a rugged, large capacity machine, equipped for accurate work in cabinet shops, furniture factories, pattern shops and other wood working plants. Use of correct blades also makes it an efficient uni.t for ripping, re-sawing, and for cutting plastics, aluminum, manganese and other non-ferrous metals. Standard blade length of this band saw is 141 inches. Maximum blade width is 1 inch. All adjustments necessary for proper centering, guiding and tensioning of blades are provided. Blades of various widths from 3/16 to 1 inch wide are available. The table tilts 45 degrees to the right and 12 degrees to the left. Maximum height of cut is L3/4 inches with clearance of 5 inches between the blade and upper frame. The full throat width, however, is l9/a inches for cuts up to a height capacity of lT/s inches. These clearances, location of mounting holes and other dimensions are shown in Fig.2. Tlne 20" Band Saw is shipped completely assembled as illustrated in Fig. 1, with motor pulley and two matched V-belts, less motor and switch. A /s-inch blade No. 28-877 is furnished with the machine. Table insert, alignment pin and three wrenches are inclosed in the packing envelope. The motor and switch must be ordered separately and should be selected to meet the available electric power characteristics and the customer's operating requirements. Accessories which may be purchased as additional equipment are the miter gage and rip fence complete with guide rails. Refer to the drawings and Table I to identify the parts mentioned in the following instructions. CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

Use of the welded steel cabinet as a frame to carry the working parts of this band saw greatly reduces the weight required for rugged construction. At the same time, this design provides maximum safety for the operator and presents a machine of modern lines which is easily kept in neat condition. Details of the cabinet and the doors which give ready access to the wheels and drive are shown in Fig. 3. The working parts are carried on structural reinforcements inside the cabinet and are fastened by a novel 3-point mounting feature which permits exact alignment. Each machine is carefully adjusted at the faciory. The original accuracy can easily be restored

On this machine the slot for removing the blade is at the side of the table. This patented feature permits the use of widely spaced trunnions for greater rigidity of the tilting table, and avoids interference with the

'ory
. l

The correct motor speed with 60-cycle or DC power is 1725 rpm, which will run the blade at 4500 feet per minute. With 50-cycle current a 1425 rpm motor should be used, making the blade speed 3800 feet per minute. These speeds, being suitable for most wood cutting operations, are obtained with the 3ft-inch motor pulley and 7-inch drive pulley furnished as standard equipment. No other pulleys for this 2-belt drive are available. When some other drive ratio, is desired, to change blade speed or accommodate a different motor, the customer should have a new pulley machined locally according to the standard belt groove dimensions. The standard motor pulley CBS-140-S has a s/a-inch bore and 3/16-inch keyway. It will fit any of the Delta motors recommended for this machine. Consult your Delta dealer for the correct motor to meet your needs. SWITCHES AND ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

,t 1''

The No. 49-3L4 swiich box assembly may be used with single phase and DC motors. Convenient mounting of the "on-off" switch is provided on the band saw column to the left of the table, as shown in Fig l. This switch assembly includes all parts needed for a permanent and safe connection and permits the machine to be operated from any convenient power outlet. For three-phase motors use a manual or magnetic starter and the 3-wire armored cabl.eNo. 4g-315.Starters of various voltages are listed in the catalog. The 3-phase manual starter No. 1320 may also be used for single phase and DC motors, when overload protection is desired. ASSEMBLY Remove the crate and unbolt the base from the skid. Wipe the protective coating thoroughly from the working parts of the machine. Install the blade, entering it through the table slot and running it loosely over the wheels. The blade is easily handled by holding it vertically in both hands, with approximately equal upper and lower loops similar to its operating position. Be sure that the teeth on the right point downward and are to the front. Raise the upper wheel by turning the hand knob at the rear of the upper frame until the blade has slight tension. Place the table insert CBS-138 into its seat, with the open end of the slot to the rear. Enter the alignment pin LBS-55 into the tapered hole at the right end of the table slot and tap it lightly with a hammer. Do not drive the pin too far; excessive pressure might crack the table. The pin holds the ground surface of the table flush across the slot, as the tapered hole was reamed after grinding the table and before the slot was milled. When the miter gage is used, the alignment pin should be tapped in just enough so that the gage bar slides freely in the table groove. To remove the alignment pin, turn it either way by means of a wrench applied to the hexagon head.

front rip fence bar, screw feed or other attachment which may be used. Other band saws for which this slot arrangement is not available must have the trunnions spaced to the rear of the blade, or have a slotted front trunnion, resulting in a less rigid table and unhandy blade removal. The blade guides are fully and independently adjustable for blade width and thickness to permit the exact settings required for accurate work and long blade life. The lower guides are within 1 inch of the table surface. Thus the blade is supported close to the work, reducing blade breakage. Convenient adjusting screws permit each setting to be made separately. The front blade guard rides with the upper guides, protecting the operator in all cutting positions. Other features presented in this band saw are the convenient blade tracking adjustment, blade tension control with indicator, aluminum wheels with tensioned removable rubber tires which have been ground to uniform thickness, the foot brake and dust spout. Sealed ball bearings are used for both wheel shafts and for supporting the blade, thus reducing lubrication requirements to a minimum.

Insert the motor into the lower chamber of the cabinet through the rear door, as shown in Fig. 5, and attach it to the mounting plate by means of the sft-inch hexagon head cap screws SP-642 and hexagon nuts SP-1026 which are furnished in the envelope. Install the motor pulley and V-belts. The belts must run true to prevent excessive wear and loss of power. Place a straight edge across the faces of the pulleys and shift the motor pulley on its shaft until it is in line. Tighten the set screw in the motor pulley. The spring at the end of the motor mounting plate, shown in Fig. 6, compresses when the belts are sprung over the pulleys. Adjust belt tension by turning the wing nut on the bolt CBS-131. The spring takes up starting torque. Use of a pivoted motor plate allows for varying belt lengths and pulley diameters.

This scale is above the upper wheel shaft on the rear of the cabinet, shown in Fig. 9. o-n the Having centered the blade approximalely wheels, iurn the blade tension screw CBS-89 (lower knob in Fig. 9) upward until the pointer is on the scale mark lqual to the blade width. The screw will first raise thelliding bracket CBS-61 to take up slack; when the blade has become snug on the wheels, additional tightening compresses the coil spring CBS-85 6 to develop the required tension. This coil spring also takes up shock loads which may come upon the blade while cutting. The tension scale is correct for standard blades in average work. It is not affected by variations in actual bladelength; it is therefore equally accurate when the blade has been shortened by welding or brazing. Experienced operators may rely upon the feel or tone of the blade for adjusting tension, but ws recommend use of the scale to avoid blade breakage which

is often caused by too much or too little tension. For a blade which is thicker than standard, run the tension slightly higher than the scale mark. Back off the tensiori sciew when the inachine is not in use, to relieve the strain in the blade. Blode Troeking For accurate work and maximum blade life it is important that the blade be centered on the wheels. Wiren the adjustment has been properly made, the "track"; that is, it will run steadily in the blade will same line. lf ttre blade weaves across the crown of the wheels, cutting will not be uniform and blade breakage will be increased. Both the upper and lower blade guides and the support bearineJ must be moved back to clear the blade bntirely while the tracking adjustment is being made. Alignment of the blade on the wheels is accom' plished by tilting the upper wheel slightly with respect io the lower. The upper wheel shaft housing CBS-62 (Fig. 8) is pivoted on the sliding bracket CBS-6I. Its direction is tontrolled by the hand knob CBS-78' which is the upper knob in Fig. 9.

Having brought the blade to correct tension, turn the upper wheel clockwise by hand. If the blaCe creeps forward, tighten the knob CBS-78 slightly to tilt the wheel toward the rear, thus centering the blade. Loosen the knob if the blade creeps toward the rear. Spin the wheel and check again. When it is certain that the blade will not run off the wheels. start the motor and make any final minor adjustment which may be necessary at operating speed.

Never begin the tracking adjustment while the machine is running; at high speed the blade may run off almost instantly, injuring the blade or operator. Adjust the hand knob only a small fraction of a turn at a time, as very little tilt of the upper wheel is required to draw the blade across the rim of the wheel. Each blade has its own tendencies, especially after welding or- brazing. The blade centering adjuitment mus,t therefore be repeated whenever a new or-repaired blade is installed, regardless of previous adjustments.

The Delta 20 inch Band Saw is equipped with the Carter Jiffy Tire. The advantages of this tire are that it will last about four times longer than a rubber band as used originally. The Jiffy Tire is made up by molding rubber around an endless steel band. This assures the tire being of a definite dimension and the rubber evenly distributed. When replacing the worn Jiffy Tire it is only a matter of removing it by sawing the tire through the metal band with a hack saw. The new tire is placed on the wheel by a process as shown in Figures t2, 13 and 14. Toke Tension Off of Blode When Not ln Use It is suggested that a band saw blade should not be under tension when not in use, especially when the machine is idle overnight and on week ends. All tires, whether Jiffy Tires or otherwise, are made of a formula using a certain percent of synthetic. This is not a choice of the rubber manufacturer, but the government compels them to do this. This stock has good wearing qualities but does not have the resiliency of natural rubber. Therefore, if blade is under tension when the machine is idle for any length of time, it will leave an indentation on one half of each wheel and will naturally mislead the blade.

Wheel Mounting Adjustments The upper and lower wheels are brought into the same plane when the machine is assembled at the factory. Any normal blade should therefore center easily under the above procedure. Flowever, it is possible that the original setting may be lost during shipment, if the machine is injured, or when new parts are installed.

Fig. 15. Toble Tilted to Right,Showing Trunnions ond Stop Bor. Use of the 3-point mounting feature previously mentioned provides a simple correction for such cases. Two hexagon head cap screws SP-628 fasten the left edge of the mounting plate CBS-68, Fig. 8, to the band saw frame. A third scrw SP-617 passes through a steel bushing CBS-84. By releasing this screw and turning the bushihg in the frame the mounting plate may be adjusted toward or away from the frame, thus shifting the upper wheel shaft through a small horizontal angle. The hexagon head cap screw SP-617 should be tightened when the wheels have been made parallel. Similar adjustment for alignment of the lower wheel is provided by the bushing CBS-lll in the mounting

plate CBS-70, Fig. 10. The lower wheel shaft may be shifted through a small vertical angle by turning this bushing. If either wheel has been removed it must be brought into line with the other wheel when it is remounted, by locking it in proper position on the shaft. A straightedge built.to span the cabinet will be helpful for this. Toble Adjustments Details of the table and its mounting are shown in Fig. lf. The trunnions, CBS-64 and 65, are bolted to the underside of the table and ride in grooved seats at the ends of the support bracket CBS-63. A shoe LBS-61 within each trunnibn locks the table when the serrated nut NCS-361 is tightened on the cap screw SP-31f4. The handles SR-217 may be shifted on the serrated nuts so that they come to Convenient locking positions. When adjusting or tilting the table, release these clamps only enough to permit movement with a slight drag, so that the trunnions remain properly seated. Tighten both clamps when locking the table, but avoid excessive pressure; the clamp shoes hold securely when moderately tight. The table is mounted at right angles to the blade during assembly at the factory. Check the following adjustments to correct any disturbances which may have developed during shipment and repeat them if new parts have been installed: With the blade under tension, place a mechanics' square against the flat side of the blade and clamp the table exactly at right angles. Set the pointer DP-626 to read zero on the tilt angle scale CBS-100. The scale will then indicate correctly any angle to which the table may be tilted. Turn dhe sguare head set screw SP-306 in the stop bar CBS-101 until it touches the boss on the under

side of the table and lock it with the hexagon nut SP-1029. Tilt the table to the right and bring it back against the stop; check the setting by means of the mechanics' square. When properly adjusted this stop will return the table square with the blade after tilting. For tilting to the left, first tilt the table to the right as in Fig. 15, swing the stop bar CBS-101 to the rear for clearance, then tilt back to the desired angle. The 3-point mounting feature is used in attaching the trunnion bracket CBS-63 to the top plate of the lower cabinet. Adjustment of the,table through a small vertical angle in the direction of the trunnions may be made by means of the bushing CBS-84 and cap screw SP-617. Use the mechanics' square against the back edge of the saw blade to check this adjustment. Blode Guide ond Support Adiustments Principles and methods for adjusting the upper and lower blade guides and supports are identical, although the details of the individual parts and adjusting screws differ as shown in Fig 16 and 18. The main adjusting nuts LBS-130 of the upper guides and supports are to

Fig. 17. Trunnions with Table Removedto Show Lower

GuideAdiustments. the rear of the hexagon post, visible in Fig. 9. Adjusting screws CBS-107-S and CBS-137-S, below the table, perform the same functions for the lower guides, as shown in Fig. 17. Position of the guides and support bearings with respect to the blade is important for accurate work and blade life. The following adjustments must therefore be repeated whenever the blade is changed, and especially for each different width and' thickness of blade. First move the support bearings and guide blocks back to give full clearance, and complete the blade tension and tracking adjustments as outlined above. Move the brackets which carry the guide blocks forward until the front edges of the guide blocks are just behind the gullets of the saw teeth. If the guides are too far forward,,the teeth will be damaged; if they are too far back, the blade will not be fully supported for curve cutting. Set the guide blocks inward until they are as close as possible to the blade, but without binding it. Hexagon socket set screws SP-225 hold the guide blocks in their brackets, CBS-96 in Fig. 10 and CBS-102 in Fig. 18. Be careful not to force the blade'out of its normal vertical line when setting the blocks, and tighten the four set screws firmly when correctly placed. l0

Move the support bearings forward until they are about L/64-incli back of the blade. Allow this clearance so that the blade will not bear against the supports when running free; continuous contact will caseharden the back edge of the blade, causing early breakage. The blade should bear against the supports only when actually cutting. Tighten thi thumb screws in the upper blade guide support bracket CBS-95 when the adjustments have been completed. After considerable use in cutting curves' the front edges of the guide blocks will become wo,rn: causing a tendency to bind at the rear edge of the blade. Reverse them to use the opposite ends for original accuracy. Install new guides when both ends have become worn.

is required, the blade should be sharpened, as continued use is harmful to the blaJe in addition to taking extra time. Sharpening and setting a saw blade requires skill; those who lack equipment and experience should send the blades to a competent sawyer for sharpening. Consult your Delta dealer for such service. Broken blades may be welded or brazed. Care should be taken to preserve tooth spacing, to keep the blade straight, and to remove welding flash at the joint. It is not economical to weld a blade which has become case-hardened,as it will soon break elsewhere. Standard blades furnished for this machine are 141 inches long. The adjustment of the upper wheel bracket will accommodate blades up to a maximum length of l42l inches and to a minimum length of 139 inches. Thus standard blades may be shortened 2 inches by successive repair. BAND SAW OPERATIONS Before starting the machine, see that all adjustments have been properly made. Turn the wheels by hand as a final check. Close the cabinet doors before starting the motor. T(eep the upper blade guides and.guard down as close tb the woik as possible, for maximum protection to the operator as well as best support for the blade. Move the stock steadily against the blade and no faster than required for easy cutting. Do not force the work; light contact will permit closely following the cutting line and prevents excessive Iriction, heating and case-hardening of the blade at its back edge. A sharp blade of the correct typc for the work will cut easily without much Pressure. Use ttie foot brake to stop the wheels after shutting

Fis. | 8. The right guide block, CBS-105, of the lower support is mounled at 45 degrees to give clearance for titting the table. Its surface in contact with the blade is parallel to the end of the square block and of equal area. Use of the 3-point mounting in attaching the bracket CBS-66, Fig. 10, to the upper frame provides adjustment for miking the hexagon guide post CBS-91 parallel to the rear edge of the saw blade. If the guide blocks and upper support bearing do .not maintain their correct relation to the blade when lowered toward the table, the correction is easily made by means of the bushing CBS-S4. No such adjustment is needed for the lower guides and support, as they are attached to the trunnion support and maintain their position with respect to the table. BLADES Band saw blades are subjected to heavy strains when cutting. Long service can be obtained only by se-1e91ing thi correct blade for the work, and by carefully adjusting and operating the machine. Elades should be-of the correct thickness and temper for use on 20' inch wheels. Blades of various widths, welded, set and sharpened ready for use, are carried in stock as listed in Table 1. The standard wood cutting blades are conventional blades which mav be filed and re-set. The skip tooth blades have a hard edge with regular set to insure long life. They cannot be filed, but may be ground to sharpen them, at approximately half the cost of a new blade. Skip tooth blades are suitable for work requiring extra gullet space; they_ may be used on plastics, aluminum, magnesium and other non-ferrous metals, as well as for heavy cutting in wood. A sharp bladb will cut effectively under moderate pressure ind uniform feed. When excessive pressure t1

ACCESSORIES The auto-set miter gage and rip fence with guide rails are accessories which may be used to considerable advantage in many band saw operations. Use of Miter Goge The No. 864 miter gage, Fig. 21, has a 7-inch face and /s x ya-inch bar which fits the groove of the band saw table. It may be set at any angle up to 60 degrees right or left, and has adjustable stops for instantaneous settings at zero and 45 degrees right or left. Stop rods

off the power. This is a safety precaution which will prevent injury to the operator and others who might not notice the blade running idle after work has been completed. ft is also useful if the work becomes jammed and when a blade breaks. Details of the brake mechanism are shown in Fig. 19. Stroight Cuts Use the widest blade available for straight cuts, in order to have the greatest possible support for the teeth which do the work. Keep the blades which have closer tooth spacing for fine work, always using the coarse blades for resawing and other rough cuts. Cutting Curves When cutting curves, turn the stock carefully so that the blade may follow the line without being twisted. Clearance for the blade in the saw kerf is provided by the set of the teeth. Wider tooth set and less blade width permits the cutting of sharper curves. The narrow blades should therefore be reserved for curve cutting. Minimum cutting radius for blades with standard tooth set is shown in Table 1. If the curve is so abrupt that it is necessary to back up and cut a new kerf, a narrower blade or one with wider tooth set should be used. However, the cut is usually rougher when the teeth are set wider. When backing out of the work in order to change the cut, or for any other reason, be careful to avoid pulling the blade off of the wheels. It is generally easier and safer to turn the stock and saw out through the waste material, rather than try to withdraw the stock from the blade. Cutting to a curved pattern at full height capacity is illustrated in Fig. 20. Various methods are used to cut accurate curved shapes, the most common being by following the line drawn on the stock. However] there are many opportunities to use templates, guides, jigs, center pins for circular arcs or wheels, and other devices. The table of this band saw has ample capacity for attaching any fixtures which may be needed. t2

which may be set for successive cuts to uniform lengths are included. If desired, a wooden face plate may easily be attached to the miter gage body. Use of the miter gage is a great help in making straight cuts. When the work is firmly held against the face and advanced by sliding the bar in the table groove, the relation of the stock to the blade is constant and the resulting cut will be smooth. True sguare and miter'cuts are easily made with the table in the horizontal position; bevel cuts with the miter gage square and the table tilted. Compound miters may be cut by setting one angle on the miter gage and the other on the tilting table. Rip Fence Attochment When considerable ripping is to be done, the No. 28-862 rip fence attachment is an efficient addition to the tilting table. Parts of this attachment are shown in Fig.22. Mount the guide rails LTA-439 and 440 on the front and rear edges of the table, using the saddle blocks TCS-281 as spacers. Insert the special screws CBS-I52 through the rails and blocks into the holes provided in the table edge, and tighten with the hexagon nuts SP-1207 behind the apron. Slide the fence onto the rails to complete the assembly as shown in Fig. 23. To adjust the fence, move it next to the miter gage groove of the table and lock the front clamp block LTA-450 on the rail by pushing down on the handle ball NJ-2a7. If the fence body is not parallel to the groove, release the cap screws SP677, shift to the correct position, and tighten the screws permanently. Release the front clamp, slide the fence against the band saw blade, and tighten the clamp. With the fence just touching the saw blade, set the pointer TCS-271 to read zero on the scale of the guide rail. The scale will then read correctly the width of any cut being made in contact with the fence to the right of the blade. When setting the fence, first clamp the front end, then turn the knob NCS-272 to lock the rear clamp. The pinion-sh_af-tTCS-272-S is convenient for shifting 'exact the fence slightly right or left to make an setting on the scale; it should be pushed in to engage the rack teeth on the under side of the front guide rail

Beyond its use in ripping and other long straight cuts, this fence is handy as a support for the work when the table is tilted for bevel ripping and other angle cuts. The fenue may be used to the left of the blade as well as to the right. Tilt the table about 25 degrees to the rignt for clearance under the upper wheel housing when sliding the fence onto the left ends of the guide rails. Maximum capacity for ripping with this attachment is 25/a inches to the right of the blade and, l5/2 inches to the left. DUST CONTROL The dust spout, parts of which are shown in F.ig. 22, is attached directly below the table at a point where it will intercept most of the particles which are ripped out by the saw blade before they can be spread by the whirling action of the lower wheel. The spout will take a suction line of 2/a-inch inside diameter. Where a master dust collection system has been in-

stalled, connection should be made directly to this point. Suction should be sufficierrt to draw the loose material away from the blade. Individual dust collectors of the recirculating type are often used where the number of dust producing machines is insufficient to justify a general collecting system. Consult your dealer for information about such unit. BLADE BREAKAGE Excessive blade breakage may be due to a number of causes. In some cases it is unavoidable because of stresses which come upon the blade in the work. More generally, it is due to lack of care or judgment on the part of tbe operator in making the adjustments. Common causes of blade breakage are: t. Faulty alignment or adjustment of guides. 2. Forcing or twisting the blade around a curve or very short radius. 3. Feeding too fast. 4. Insufficient tooth set or dull teeth. 5. Excessive blade tension.

6. Upper guide set too high above the work. 7. Improperly finished or lumpy braze or weld. 8. Wrong blade for the work being done. Consult the technieal service representative of the saw blade manufacturer for advice regarding special band saw cutting problems.
