Vertical Band Saw Operation Straight-line sawing is performed on the vertical band saw machine by using one or a combination of several mechanisms or attachments: the miter guide attachment, with or without power feed, with or without the work-holding jaw device-. and the work-holding jaw device with power feed and angular blade guide attachmentThe miter guide attachment on some machines can be connected to the power feed mechanism and on others must be fed by hand. The workpiece is clamped or handheld against the miter guide attachment and the workpiece and attachment are moved on a track parallel to the blade, thereby assuring a straight-line cut. The work-holding jaw device on some machines can be connected to the power feed to produce straight-line cutsThe angular blade guide attachment is used for straightline sawing when the workpiece cannot be cut in the usual manner because it is too large or too long to clear the column of the bar, sawing machine frame.
CONTOUR SAWING
Contour sawing is the process of cutting shapes in which the direction of the cut must be changed at intervals. Holes larger in diameter than the width of the saw blade must be drilled at each corner where a change of direction of the bandsaw blade will occur. illustrates the methods of changing direction of a cut at a hole.
Sawing Away From the Hole To saw away from the hole on a line tangent to the hole, the saw blade must cut away from the center of the hole, or the blade will bow and cause a belly in the cut. The cut should be started as in A, in which a curve is cut outward from the hole to meet the layout line, leaving apiece of excess metal which can be removed later by filing. An alternate method is shown at B, in which a section of metal is notched out with a saw blade by several short cuts to give the blade clearance for starting the cut along the layout line. SPECIAL OPERATIONS ON SAWING MACHINES Band Filing Feeds Work pressure on the band file should not be excessive. A medium amount of pressure applied against the band file moving at the proper speed will produce curled chips which will not clog the file. Heavy pressure will cause clogging and can cause the file to break or the machine to stall. A light pressures should be used for finish filing, with a slow, sideways motion that will not leave vertical file marks on the workpiece.
Mechanically powered
saws mechanically move the teeth past the wood while the saw itself is
held stationary. This is accomplished in one of three ways: the teeth
are along the perimeter of a flat, circular blade; the blade
reciprocates up and down rapidly; or the teeth are along one edge of a
continuous band. They are more specifically differentiated as follows: Back saws
The
second category of hand saws keep a thinner blade stiff by reinforcing
it with a steel or brass back. Back saws are differentiated by length
of blade. While this list is not definitive, they are generally named,
from longest to shortest: Mitre Saw, Carcase Saw, Tenon saw, and
Dovetail saw. These saws also have a handle that is vertical in
relation to the blade. A saw with a straight handle that extends from
the top back of the blade is referred to as a Gent's saw. Finally, some
Dozuki saws, which are an Eastern-style (cut on the pull stroke)saw
have backs and are classified as back-saws.
* One type of hand powered Miter saw (makes precisely angled cross cuts) uses a backsaw.
