You can obtain long use from a band saw blade if you

use it properly. Use blades of proper thickness, width

and temper for the various types of material and cuts.
Always use the widest blade possible. Use narrow

blades only for sawing small, abrupt curves and for

fine, delicate work. This will save blades and will

produce better cuts. For cutting wood and similar

materials, DELTA

offers blades in widths of 1/8", 1/4",

3/8", 1/2", and 3/4".
Any one of a number of conditions may cause a band

saw blade to break. Blade breakage is, in some cases,

unavoidable, being the natural result of the peculiar

stresses to which blades are subjected. Blades will

break often due to avoidable causes, such as the lack

of care to the blade or the blade not being properly

adjusted to the band saw. The most common causes

of blade breakage are:

• Faulty alignments and adjustments of the guides.
• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve of

short radius.

• Feeding the work piece too fast into the blade.
• Dullness of the teeth, or absence of sufficient set.
• Improperly tensioned blade.
• Top guide set too high above the work piece being

cut.

ABOUT BANd SAw BLAdES

• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished

braze or weld.

• Continuous running of the saw blade when not

cutting.

TIPS:

• Use blades that are 93½" in length on this machine.
• Always use a sharp blade. Keep it free from gum

and pitch. Clean frequently with a stiff fiber brush.

• Narrow blades are used for cutting small circles or

curves while the wider blades are best suited for

straight cutting such as ripping.

• A new blade, in most cases, will perform better and

last longer than a re-sharpened blade.

• Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted properly.
• Do not force or twist the blade around a curve or a

very short radius.

• Feed the workpiece through the blade at a

consistent rate, allow the blade to do the cutting –

do not feed the work piece too fast.

• Do not apply excessive tension to the blade. The

tension is only necessary to drive the blade without

slipping on the wheels. Narrow blades require less

tension than wider blades.
