Feed and Speed Rate Factors
Running saw blades at the correct feed and speed rates is important if the goal is to achieve desirable output. There is an optimum balance between blade speed and feed rate for every saw blade and every material to be cut. Proper adjustment of feed and speed rates will help to maximized blade life and assure a satisfactory cut. Feed rate is determined by the bandsaw, material size and shape, guide spacing, cutting fluid, and tooth size and shape. The greater the blade speed, the greater the feed rate — up to the limits imposed by the above-mentioned production factors. Blade Speed Bandsaw …
Vibration and Chatter
Vibration, worn wheels, ill-fitted belts, wobbly blades, and shoddy performance are all the result of bandsaw machine equipment neglect, malfunction, or both. They are also known causes of excessive noise in operation. By minimizing these sound issues, work environment is improved while raising bandsaw performance levels. Below are a few causes for excessive machine noise and vibration with possible solutions to the problem. Try switching blades — the raker and an off-set tooth pitch might cut down on squeal due to the left, right, off-set tooth pattern on the blade. Too low a feed rate — increase feed pressure. Check the guides — if they are cool …
