Trajan 1319 Bandsaw
The Trajan 1319 bandsaw machine is one of the most popular models of horizontal bandsaw. Equipped with a 13 x 19″ sawing capacity providing for simple and effective operation. It weighs 600 kg (1323 lbs.) and is ideal for cutting most types of metals including structural and exotic steels. It uses a 12′ 6” l x 1” w blade and a two hp/three-phase motor. The heavy duty 13″ x 19″ two-way swivel bandsaw with swivel control box for convenient operation features a high efficiency gear drive system with a variable step pulley to provide for fast changing speeds. The enlarged hydraulic cylinder and buffer …
Materials Handling
Materials handling is the process of moving, controlling, protecting, and storing materials for manufacture, disposal, distribution, or consumption. Materials need to be handled properly in order to have them safely reach their final destination in maintained quality and in excellent condition. Adding and taking away materials from a bandsaw machine slows production rates regardless of the machine’s cutting speed. Proper materials handling will minimize the time it takes to distribute and then store materials — removing the need for repetitious set-cut-remove-store procedure. With efficient materials handling, accidents are avoided and worker stress decreases, making the employee’s job safe and effortless. Less handling of the materials means less chance for …
Machining Alloys
Machining alloys is what most metal cutting industry shops do. Fabrication, drilling, cutting, milling, bending, and punching operations will all end up encountering problems in the process of machining alloys. Rough finish, bending of materials, poor product texture, and machine aspects like wear, tear, and blade dulling or breakage. These issues cause slow production output and incur unwanted cost — to both materials and equipment. Aluminum alloys are a commonly used lightweight metallic materials that are easy to shape. Aluminium alloys are material that offers high machine ability as opposed to titanium or magnesium. Factors to consider when machining alloys include tool life, chip removal, removal rate, …
Safe Bandsaw Operation
Research shows that bandsaw machines are considered to be among the safest of all woodworking equipment. They are often considered to be the ultimate woodworking tool for cutting different shapes and angles. The risk of accidents still exists though, and no type of mechanical equipment can truly be considered accident-free or 100% safe to operator. Guidelines and safety procedures need to be learned and implemented in order to achieve a higher safety standard inside any machine or woodworking shop — including a basement or garage set-up. Improper use is a major safety concern, and this post will attempt to cover …
SFPM
Bandsaw machines are used in woodworking, machine shops, and to form cut. Bandsaw operation can also differ depending on the model used. Most applications associated with speed and blade control are relatively similar, though, and based primarily on the materials being cut. The speed of the blade is expressed in surface feet per minute (SFPM). The tooth pattern and blade speed required are determined by the texture, density, hardness, and porosity of the material being cut. There are a variety of speeds available for bandsaw machines. They include fixed, variable pulley, infinite variable, and electronic drive. The speed of the band is something …
Maintaining Bandsaw Blade Teeth
This is an economical and likely well-known bit of helpful advice for maintaining bandsaw blade teeth. Save the plastic cap strips that arrive with your brand new bandsaw blade. Bandsaw blade teeth are designed to cut specific materials. The teeth are critical in providing high production rates and an overall positive output. This reason and for safety purposes is why the teeth are often protected by capping prior to shipping. Contact with bandsaw blade teeth that aren’t capped is one of the most common causes of injury and why caution is necessary when handling any bandsaw blade. Bandsaw blade manufacturers and distributors …
