4 Helpful Tips for Woodworking Band Saw Maintenance and Care
The woodworking band saw machine is a high-speed machine, and the maintenance and upkeep of the machine is very important.
We need to ensure that all components cannot malfunction when using it, because even small problems will directly affect the service life of the machine, thereby affecting production efficiency and normal work.
In order to ensure the long-term normal and safe operation of the woodworking band saw machine, the machine must be maintained during the working process. This article will briefly introduce some very practical maintenance tips.
First of all, the working area of the band saw machine and the machine tool of the band saw machine must be cleaned frequently and kept tidy.
Because when cutting wood, wood chips and dust will be produced, and the accumulation of these wood chips will have a very bad impact on the machine. In particular, the resin and wood chips on the band saw blade and saw wheel must be removed, otherwise it will not only affect the band saw machine itself, but also affect the service life of the band saw blade, cutting effect, etc. Therefore the first step in maintaining a woodworking band saw is a clean workspace and a clean band saw machine.
Secondly, please pay attention to the bearings, gear screws, slide rails and other parts of the machine tool that often generate friction. These parts require regular lubrication. Keep the machine running smoothly.
At the same time, when the band saw machine is working, the staff can pay attention to whether there are any abnormalities in the rolling bearings of the upper and lower saw wheels of the machine. The temperature of the rolling bearings cannot exceed 60°C. This means that the machine cannot run for too long.
Woodworkers need to constantly check and calibrate various parts of their machines.
For saw wheels, you can use the hanging wire method to check whether the upper and lower saw wheels are on a vertical plane. If there is any distortion, it is best to adjust the upper wheel. When the deformation gap is too large, the lower wheel can also be adjusted.
And generally, after the upper and lower wheels of the saw wheel have been working for a period of time, there will always be some wear and tear. Always check whether the upper wheel lifting system can be adjusted flexibly.
At the same time, you can check at any time whether the saw card lifting device can slide up and down freely, and whether the automatic tensioning device is flexible and available.
And whether the various components are damaged and whether the connecting parts are loose, etc. If abnormalities are found, adjustments should be made in time or even relevant parts should be replaced to ensure safe and normal operation of the machine.
