1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:
1. Read and understand entire owner's manual
before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This band saw is designed and intended for use
by properly trained and experienced personnel
only. If you are not familiar with the proper and
safe operation of a band saw, do not use until
proper training and knowledge have been
obtained.
5. Do not use this band saw for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds
itself harmless from any injury that may result
from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shield while using this machine. (Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.)
7. Before operating band saw, remove tie, rings,
watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and
confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid
floor strips are recommended. Do not wear
gloves.
8. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
9. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Sect. 6.3, Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
10. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It’s safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool.
11. Disconnect tools before servicing; when
changing accessories, such as blade, bits,
cutters and the like.
12. Direction of feed: Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
13. Maintain proper adjustment of blade tension,
blade guides, and thrust bearings.
14. Adjust upper blade guides to just clear
workpiece (approximately 1/8”).
15. Make sure blade tension, tracking and blade
guides are all properly adjusted.
16. Make relief cuts where possible, when cutting
curved stock.
17. When feeding small work pieces into blade,
always use push stick, fixture, or similar device
to keep hands at a safe distance.
18. Hold stock firmly and flat against table.
19. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
20. Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
21. Make certain switch is in OFF position before
connecting machine to power supply.
22. Make certain machine is properly grounded.
23. Do not back stock out of blade while blade is
running.
24. Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade
has stopped.
25. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine
before turning it on.
26. Keep safety guards in place at all times when
machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the
guards immediately after completion of
maintenance.
27. Check damaged parts. Before further use of
machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
28. Keep floor around machine clean and free of
scrap material, oil and grease.
3
29. Keep visitors a safe distance from work area.
Keep children away.
30. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
31. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
32. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall into blade or other moving parts.
Do not overreach or use excessive force to
perform any machine operation.
33. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed
rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed. The right tool
will do the job better and more safely.
34. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
35. Maintain tools with care. Keep blades sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
36. Turn off machine before cleaning. Use a brush
or compressed air to remove chips or debris —
not your hands.
37. Do not stand on machine. Serious injury could
occur if machine tips over.
38. Never leave machine running unattended. Turn
power off and do not leave band saw until blade
comes to a complete stop.
39. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from area before starting machine.
40. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Do not
reach around a moving saw blade.
41. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Do not
expose machine to rain or use in wet or damp
locations. Keep work area well lighted.
42. Make sure band saw is securely fastened to
base.
43. Do not start the band saw with a workpiece in
contact with the blade.
44. Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.
45. Keep blades clean and sharp. Do not use
blades that are cracked, poorly welded, or have
missing or deformed teeth.
46. Use a push stick or other safety device when
ripping narrow workpieces.

5.3 Unpacking and cleanup
Open boxes and inspect contents. Report any
shipping damage or missing parts to your
distributor. Do not discard packing material until
machine is assembled and running satisfactorily.
The band saw should be located in a dry, well lit
area, with enough room to handle long stock and
servicing or adjustment of the machine from any
side.
Clean off any rust-protectant with a mild solvent or
kerosene and a soft cloth. Do not use lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, or gasoline, as these will
damage painted surfaces.
Band saw must be
disconnected from power source during
assembly procedures. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
5.4 Assembling stand
Assemble stand by referring to exploded view in
sect. 13.1.3. Use fasteners HP2/5/6/7 and rubber
feet, as shown. Adjust the rubber feet as needed to
level the band saw.
Carefully raise the saw using straps with a forklift or
hoist, and secure it to the stand with screws and
washers HP1/5/7. See Figure 5-3.
5.5 Installing handle
Thread handle (C, Figure 5-1) into front handwheel,
and tighten with 13mm wrench on flats.

5.6 Installing dust chute
Mount dust chute (D, Figure 5-3) with four screws
(HP4).
Figure 5-3
5.7 Installing table
Table is heavy; an assistant is
recommended.
Position table onto trunnion and line up table to
trunnion slots. Insert screws and washers (HP3/5,
Figure 5-4). Only hand tighten screws at this time –
blade must be installed and table aligned before
fully tightening.
Follow all instructions concerning blade installation
and adjustment, then proceed with table alignment
in sect. 5.15.
Figure 5-4: table installation
5.8 Installing blade
Note: A blade is not provided with the saw. You may
purchase one locally, or from your JET dealer. See
sect. 4.0 for blade requirements of the JWBS-
14SFX.
Disconnect machine from
power source before installing blade.
Wear gloves when handling
blades. New blades are usually packaged in
coiled position; to prevent injury uncoil them
slowly and carefully while wearing work gloves
and safety glasses.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Pull table pin (K, Figure 5-5) out of its slot, and
remove table insert (B).
Figure 5-5: table and guide rail installation
3. Back off upper and lower blade guides to allow
gap for blade insertion (see sect. 5.12 through
5.14).
4. Raise quick tension lever (see D, Figure 5-7) to
release position. If needed, rotate tension
handwheel (E, Figure 5-7) counterclockwise for
further detensioning.
5. Open upper and lower doors by rotating door
knobs.
6. Remove dust block (C, Figure 5-6).
Figure 5-6
7. Guide blade through table slot. Place blade
loosely in upper and lower blade guides. Make
sure blade teeth point down toward table, and
toward front of saw.
(If the teeth will not point down, no matter how
the blade is oriented, then blade is inside-out.
Twist it into correct orientation and re-install it.)
8. Position blade at center of upper and lower
wheels.
10
9. Reinstall dust block, table insert and table pin.
(The table pin prevents deflection of table along
blade slot.)
10. Before operating band saw, the new blade must
be tensioned and tracked, in that order. Refer to
sect. 5.9 and 5.10.
11. The blade guides must also be set properly
according to instructions in sect. 7.7 through
7.10.
5.9 Blade tension
Refer to Figures 5-7 and 5-8.
Blade tension should be checked following blade
replacement, and periodically as the blade stretches
from use.
1. Lower tension lever (D, Figure 5-7) to tension
position.
2. Set proper blade tension by rotating handwheel
(E, Figure 5-7), clockwise to tighten,
counterclockwise to loosen.
3. The gauge (F, Figure 5-8) indicates
approximate tension according to blade width in
inches. Initially, set blade tension to correspond
to width of blade. As you become familiar with
the saw, you may find it necessary to alter blade
tension from the initial setting.
Keep in mind that too little or too much blade tension
can cause blade breakage and/or poor cutting
performance.
Tip: When the band saw is not being used, raise
tension lever (D) to release position – this will
prolong the life of blade and tires.
Figure 5-7 (shown with optional lamp)
Figure 5-8
5.10 Blade tracking
Refer to Figures 5-7 and 5-8.
After proper tensioning, the blade must be tracked.
“Tracking” refers to position of blade on the wheels
while machine is in operation. Tracking should be
checked periodically, and is mandatory after every
blade change. Blade tracking is done initially by
hand with machine disconnected from power.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Blade must be correctly tensioned (sect. 5.9).
Lower blade tension lever to tension position.
3. Back off blade guides so they will not interfere
with blade movement.
4. Loosen guide post locking knob (G
1
, Figure 5-
7) and use handwheel (G
2
) to lower guide post
until you can see blade through tracking window
(H).
5. Open upper door to expose wheel.
6. Rotate wheel by hand, observing position of
blade through tracking window. The blade
should ride approximately at center of tire
(Figure 5-9).
Figure 5-9
7. If blade tends to migrate toward left or right
edge of wheel, loosen locking handle (J
1
, Figure
5-7) counterclockwise, and rotate tracking knob
(J
2
) with your right hand while continuing to
rotate wheel with your left.
11
IMPORTANT: This adjustment is sensitive;
perform in small increments and give blade time
to react to changes.
8. When blade is tracking near approximate center
of wheel, tighten locking handle (J
1
), and close
upper door.
9. Connect saw to power and turn it on to observe
blade in action through tracking window. Make
further adjustments as needed.
5.11 Blade guides overview
Thrust (back support) bearings are located behind
saw blade and provide support to back of blade
when saw is in operation.
Guide bearings are located on either side of saw
blade and provide stability for blade when saw is in
operation. These bearings rotate on an eccentric
shaft so distance from blade can be adjusted for
optimal performance.
5.12 Upper blade guides
Blade teeth are sharp; use care
when working near saw blade.
The guide bearings should be set so that contact
between blade and guides will occur only when
blade is under pressure from a workpiece. To adjust
upper bearing guides for proper blade control,
proceed as follows.
Refer to Figures 5-10 and 5-11.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Blade must already be tensioned and tracking
correctly. See sect. 5.9 and 5.10.
Figure 5-10: blade guide adjustment
3. Place quick tension handle in tension position.
4. Loosen two set screws (K, Figure 5-10) with
3mm hex wrench, and slide entire guide bracket
until front of guide bearings are about 0.015”
(1/64”) behind blade gullet (curved area at base
of tooth). See Figure 5-11.
Figure 5-11: guide bearing position
5. Tighten set screws (K, Figure 5-10).
6. Loosen lock knob (L
1
) for either of the front
guide bearings.
7. The guide bearing rotates on an eccentric shaft.
Adjust guide bearing by rotating knurled knob
(L
2
) until guide bearing is almost touching blade.
Tip: This blade-to-bearing gap can be quickly
set by inserting a business card, or dollar bill
folded twice (4 thicknesses), between them
then allowing the guide bearing to lightly contact
the card/bill.
Do not force guide bearing
against side of blade. Overtightening will
reduce bearing life. Guide bearings should
not rotate when saw is running without a
workpiece; they will generally only make
contact with blade when there is pressure
from the cutting operation.
8. Tighten lock knob (L
1
).
9. Repeat process for opposite guide bearing.
5.13 Upper thrust bearing
Blade teeth are sharp; use care
when working near saw blade.
Refer to Figure 5-10.
The thrust bearing prevents backward deflection of
blade during cutting.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Loosen screws (M, Figure 5-10) with 3mm hex
wrench and raise guard plate to expose thrust
bearing.
3. Loosen screw (N) with 5mm hex wrench, and
slide thrust bearing until it almost touches back
of blade. (This blade-to-bearing gap can be set
in similar fashion as the side guides, with
business card or dollar bill.)
NOTE: On narrow blades, it may be preferable
to set thrust bearing in actual contact with
blade.
12
4. Tighten screw (N).
5. Lower guard plate (M) and tighten in place.
6. Make sure all screws and lock knobs on upper
guide bearing assembly are tightened when
adjustments are complete.
5.14 Lower blade guides
Blade teeth are sharp; use care
when working near saw blade.
Refer to Figures 5-12 and 5-13.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Open lower door.
3. Adjust lower guide bearings and lower thrust
bearing below table in similar manner to that of
upper guide and thrust bearings.
Movement summary: Loosen screws on guide
bracket (P) to adjust bearing assembly (refer to
Figure 5-11). Loosen screws (R) and rotate
eccentric guide bearings in relation to blade.
The thrust bearing is moved forward and
backward by loosening set screw (S) with 4mm
hex wrench and rotating knob (T). Retighten set
screw (S) to secure position.
4. Make sure all knobs and screws are tightened
after adjustments are complete.

5.17 Dust collection
It is strongly recommended that a dust collection
system (not provided) be connected to the two 4-
inch diameter ports on the saw. It will help keep the
shop clean, as well as prevent potential health
hazards due to air-borne wood dust. See our
website for a full line of dust collectors.
6.0 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Before connecting to power source, be sure the
switch is in off position.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a nominal 115-V
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 6-1. A
temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor
illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between
150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure
6-1. The tool is intended to be used with a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make
sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool
must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.

6.2 Voltage conversion
To convert the JWBS-14SFX from 115V to 230V,
single phase operation:
1. Disconnect band saw from power; unplug.
2. Switch the lead wires inside motor junction box,
according to diagram affixed to inside of
junction box cover.
3. Disconnect the 110V electrical socket at rear
of saw frame. This socket will not be used
when the band saw is drawing 230V power.
4. The 5-15P attachment plug supplied with the
band saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 230V operation.
6.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position your machine within reach of the power
supply. If an extension cord becomes necessary,
make sure the cord rating is suitable for the
amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use Table 2 as a general guide in choosing the
correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

7.0 Adjustments
7.1 Resaw fence
Refer to Figure 7-1.
The fence can be installed in one of two positions;
vertical (resaw position) or horizontal. Horizontal
position is useful for small or thin workpieces, and
allows blade guide to be lowered without
interference from fence. Zero setting of cursor
cannot be used with horizontal fence position.
Figure 7-1: fence positions
7.2 Miter gauge (optional accessory)
Refer to Figure 7-2.
1. Slide miter gauge (not included, optional
accessory) into table slot from front edge of
table.
2. Loosen knobs (A
1
) and install miter fence (A
2
)
onto gauge body. Position fence as needed and
tighten knobs.
3. Loosen handle (A
3
), pull out pin (A
4
), and rotate
body to desired angle. Tighten handle.
Figure 7-2: miter gauge adjustments
7.2.1 Setting positive stops
The miter gauge has positive stops at 0 (90°), and
45° left and right, located beneath the gauge body.
4. Use a square to verify that miter fence is square
to blade when set at 90° on scale
16
5. If miter gauge is not square to blade, loosen
handle (A

,
Figure 5-7).
2. Position blade guide assembly so that bottom of
guide bearing assembly is about 3/16-inch
above material to be cut. The scale pointer (G
3
,
Figure 5-8) indicates height of guide assembly
from table. This provides minimal clearance
between workpiece and bottom of guide
bearings, which minimizes blade deflection and
enhances operator safety.
3. Tighten lock knob (G
1
, Figure 5-7).
7.5 Drive belt adjustments
The drive belt and pulleys are properly adjusted by
the manufacturer. However, belt tension should be
occasionally checked when the band saw is new, as
a new belt may stretch slightly during the breaking-
in process.
7.5.1 Drive belt tension
Check tension by pushing with moderate pressure
on belt halfway between pulleys. An adequately
tensioned belt will deflect about 1/2-inch.
7.5.2 Drive belt replacement
Disconnect machine from
power source before replacing drive belt.
If belt becomes worn, cracked, frayed or glazed, it
should be replaced as follows:
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Open upper and lower doors and remove blade.
3. Loosen motor plate screws (A, Figure 7-4). If
needed, slightly loosen pivot screw (B). Lift
motor upward to remove tension on belt, and
tighten screws (A) to hold motor in raised
position.
Figure 7-4
4. Open lower wheel door. Remove nut and
washer, and remove blade wheel. If lower
wheel cannot be easily removed, you may need
to use a wheel puller to remove it.
5. Remove old belt from pulleys and install new
belt, making sure it seats properly in pulley
grooves.
6. Check pulley alignment. To align, loosen set
screws in pulley and slide to adjust. Retighten
set screws.
7. Reinstall lower blade wheel, washer, and nut,
and tighten securely.
8. Loosen motor plate screws (A) and allow motor
to lower, tensioning the belt. Tighten screws
(A).
9. Install blade, and verify blade tension and
tracking before operating (sect 5.9 and 5.10).
7.6 Wheel brush
An adjustable brush is located in lower wheel
housing. It should remain in constant contact with
blade and wheel to prevent buildup of gum and
debris. Loosen nut to adjust angle if needed.

saw will resume action instantly upon power
restoration. If outage occurs, immediately press
stop button.
8.1.1 Switch lockout
A hole near the start button will accept a safety
padlock, as shown in Figure 8-1. To safeguard your
machine from unauthorized operation and
accidental starting by young children, the use of a
padlock (not provided) is highly recommended.
Place the key in a location that is inaccessible to
children and others not qualified to use the tool.
Figure 8-1: switch lockout
9.0 Operation
The following section contains basic information,
and is not intended to cover all possible applications
or techniques using the band saw. Consult
published sources of information, acquire formal
training, and/or talk to experienced band saw users
to gain proficiency and knowledge of band saw
operations.
The following figures are general in nature and may
not show your specific model.
9.1 General procedure
1. Make sure the blade and upper and lower
bearings are properly adjusted for tension and
tracking.
2. Adjust blade guide assembly so that the guide
bearings are just above workpiece (about 3/16”)
allowing minimum exposure to blade. See
Figure 9-1.
3. If using the fence, move it into position and lock
it to the guide rail. If you are using the miter
gauge for a crosscut, the fence should be
moved safely out of the way.
4. Turn on band saw and allow a few seconds for
the machine to reach full speed.
Whenever possible, use a push
stick, hold-down, power feeder, jig, or similar
device while feeding stock, to prevent your
hands getting too close to the blade.
5. Place the straightest edge of the workpiece
against the fence, and push the workpiece
slowly into the blade. Do not force the
workpiece into the blade.
When cutting, do not overfeed
the blade; overfeeding will reduce blade life and
may cause the blade to break.
6. When cutting long stock, the operator should
use roller stands, support tables, or an assistant
to help stabilize the workpiece.
Figure 9-1
9.2 Ripping
Ripping is cutting lengthwise through the workpiece,
along the grain (of wood stock). See Figure 9-2.
Figure 9-2: ripping
9.3 Crosscutting
Crosscutting is cutting across the grain of the
workpiece, while using the miter gauge to feed the
workpiece into the blade.
18
Slide the bar of the miter gauge into the end of the
slot on the table.
The right hand should hold the workpiece steady
against the miter gauge, while the left hand pushes
the miter gauge past the blade, as shown in Figure
9-3.
Do not use the fence in conjunction with the miter
gauge. The offcut of the workpiece must not be
constrained during or after the cutting process.
Using the fence in conjunction
with the miter gauge can cause binding and
possible damage to the blade.
Figure 9-3: crosscutting
9.4 Resawing
Resawing is the process of slicing stock to reduce
its thickness, or to produce boards that are thinner
than the original workpiece. See Figure 9-4.
The ideal blade for resawing is the widest one the
machine can handle, as the wider the blade the
better it can hold a straight line.
Figure 9-4: resawing
When resawing thin stock, use a push block, push
stick, or similar device to keep your hands away
from the blade.
9.5 Blade lead
Blade lead, or drift, is when the blade begins to
wander off the cutting line even when the band saw
fence is being used. Figure 9-5 shows an example
of blade lead. It is more common with small, narrow
blades, and is almost always attributable to poor
blade quality, or lack of proper adjustments. Inspect
the band saw for the following:
Fence not parallel to miter slot and blade.
Blade not tensioned correctly.
Blade is dull.
Teeth have excessive “set” on one side of
blade.
Workpiece being fed too quickly.
Figure 9-5: blade lead
9.6 Saw blade selection
Using the proper blade for the job will increase the
operating efficiency of your band saw, help reduce
necessary saw maintenance, and improve your
productivity. Thus, it is important to follow certain
guidelines when selecting a saw blade.
Here are factors to consider when selecting a blade:
The type of material you will be cutting.
The thickness of the material.
The features of the material, such as bends
or curves with small radii.
These factors are important because they involve
basic concepts of saw blade design. There are five
(5) blade features that are normally changed to meet
certain sawing requirements. They are:
1. width
2. pitch (number of teeth per inch)
3. tooth form (or shape)
4. the "set" of the teeth
5. the blade material itself.
19
9.7 Width
Band saw blades come in different standard widths,
measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the
tooth. Generally, wider blades are used for ripping
or making straight cuts; narrower blades are often
used when the part being cut has curves with small
radii. When cutting straight lines with a narrow
blade, the blade may have a tendency to wander,
causing blade lead. (refer to sect. 9.5).
9.8 Pitch
Pitch is measured in "teeth per inch" (TPI). Figure 9-
6 shows blades with different pitches. A fine pitch
(more teeth per inch) will cut more slowly but
smoother. A coarse pitch (fewer teeth per inch) will
cut rougher but faster. As a rule of thumb, the thicker
the workpiece, the coarser will be the blade pitch. If
you cut a hard or very brittle material, you may want
to use a blade with a finer pitch in order to get clean
cuts.
General rule: Use a blade that will have no fewer
than 6 and no more than 12 teeth in the workpiece
at any given time.
Figure 9-6: blade pitch
9.9 Shape
Figure 9-7 shows common types of tooth shape.
Tooth shape has an effect on cutting rate, and with
few exceptions, the Skip and Hook types are used
to obtain higher feed rates when cutting thick
workpieces. Variable-tooth blades are also
available, which combine features of the other
styles.
Figure 9-7: blade shape
9.10 Set
The term "set" refers to the way in which the saw
teeth are bent or positioned. Set patterns are usually
selected depending on the type of material that
needs to be cut. Three common set patterns are
shown in Figure 9-8.
Generally, the Raker set is used for cutting metal
workpieces; the Wave set, when the thickness of the
workpiece changes, such as cutting hollow tubing or
structurals. The Straight set is most often preferred
when cutting wood or plastics.
Figure 9-8: blade set
9.11 Material
Band saw blades can be made from different types
of materials. Some of the most common include
spring steel, carbon steel, carbon steel equipped
with a high speed or welded edge (bi-metal), or
carbide tips. A special type of saw blade is made
from "high speed steel"; these should not be used
on band saws with low rates of speed.
Because of the importance of blade selection, it is
recommended that you use the Blade Selection
Guide in sect. 11.0.
9.12 Blade breakage
Band saw blades are subject to high stresses and
breakage may sometimes be unavoidable.
However, many factors can be controlled to help
prevent most blade breakage. Here are some
common causes for breakage:
1. Misalignment of blade guides
2. Feeding work too fast
3. Using a wide blade to cut a short radius curve
4. Excessive tension
5. Teeth are dull or improperly set
6. Upper guides are set too high off workpiece
7. Faulty weld on blade
20
10.0 User-maintenance
Before any intervention on the
machine, disconnect it from electrical supply by
pulling out the plug. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Clean band saw regularly to remove any resinous
deposits and sawdust.
Keep miter slot and guide bearings clean and free
of resin.
Keep blade clean and sharp. Check it periodically
for cracks or other signs of wear.
The drive belt should be checked periodically. If it
looks worn, frayed, glazed or otherwise damaged,
replace it.
Check that the cleaning brush over the band wheel
is working properly, and remove any deposits from
the band wheels to avoid vibration and blade
breakage.
Do not allow saw dust to build up in the upper and
lower wheel housings. Vacuum or blow out dust
from inside cabinet. (Use proper dust mask
equipment).
The table surface must be kept clean and free of rust
for best results. If rust appears, it can often be
removed with a mixture of household ammonia,
good commercial detergent and #000 steel wool.
Alternatively, commercial rust removers can be
found at many hardware stores.
Periodically apply a light coat of paste wax or other
non-silicone protectant to the table surface. Select a
product that will protect the metal and provide a
smooth surface, without staining workpieces.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
Connect the band saw to a dust collection system of
appropriate capacity. (See our website for a full line
of JET dust collectors.)
Periodically vacuum out the motor fan cover.
10.1 Lubrication points
1. Periodically apply a light, multi-purpose grease
to the following:
Rack and pinion system of guide post.
Sliding surfaces of table trunnions.
2. Oil any pins, shafts, and joints. (Do not get oil
on pulleys or belts.)
3. Clean and oil the blade tension mechanism if it
becomes difficult to adjust.
Note: Bearings on the band saw are pre-lubricated
and sealed, and do not require attention.
10.2 Additional servicing
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.

Study the part drawing or prototype, or actually
measure the smallest cutting radius required, and
locate this radius (in inches) on the chart at the right.
Follow the curve to where the approximate blade
width is specified. If a radius falls between two of the
curves, select the widest blade that will saw this
radius.
This procedure should be used for making initial
blade selections. These recommendations can, of
course, be adjusted to meet specific requirements
of a cutting job. Compromises may be necessary if
you cannot find all needed specifications in a single
blade.

12.2 Mechanical and electrical problems
Table 5
Symptom Probable Cause Correction *
Machine will not
start/restart or
repeatedly trips circuit
breaker or blows
fuses.
No incoming power. Verify machine connections.
Cord damaged. Replace cord.
Band Saw frequently trips.
One cause of overloading trips which are
not electrical in nature is too heavy a cut.
The solution is to reduce feed pressure
into the blade. If this does not resolve the
issue, check for a loose electrical lead.
Building circuit breaker trips or fuse
blows.
Verify that band saw is on a circuit of
correct size. If circuit size is correct,
there is probably a loose electrical lead.
Switch or motor failure (how to
distinguish).
If you have access to a voltmeter, you
can separate a switch failure from a
motor failure by first, verifying incoming
voltage at 115 +/-10% (or 230+/-10%)
and second, checking the voltage
between switch and motor at 115 +/-10%
(or 230+/-10%). If incoming voltage is
incorrect, you have a power supply
problem. If voltage between switch and
motor is incorrect, you have a switch
problem. If voltage between switch and
motor is correct, you have a motor
problem.
Motor overheated.
Clean motor of dust or debris to allow
proper air circulation. Allow motor to cool
down before restarting.
Motor failure.
Have a qualified electrician or motor
repair shop test the motor for function.
Miswiring of unit.
Double check to confirm all electrical
connections are correct. Refer to wiring
diagram to make needed corrections.
Switch failure.
If the start/stop switch is suspect, you
have two options: Have a qualified
electrician test the switch for function, or
purchase a new start/stop switch and
establish if that was the problem on
change-out.
Band Saw does not
attain full speed.
Extension cord too light or too long.
Replace with adequate size and length
cord.
Low current. Contact a qualified electrician.
Motor failure.
Have a qualified electrician or motor
repair shop test the motor for function.
* WARNING: Some corrections may require a qualified electrician.
