About Band Saw Blades; Tips; Accessories; Warranty - Delta 28-400 Manual De Instrucciones

You can obtain long use from a band saw blade if you
use it properly. Use blades of proper thickness, width
and temper for the various types of material and cuts.
Always use the widest blade possible. Use narrow
blades only for sawing small, abrupt curves and for
fine, delicate work. This will save blades and will
produce better cuts. For cutting wood and similar
®
materials, DELTA offers blades in widths of 1/8", 1/4",
3/8", 1/2", and 3/4".
Any one of a number of conditions may cause a band
saw blade to break. Blade breakage is, in some cases,
unavoidable, being the natural result of the peculiar
stresses to which blades are subjected. Blades will
break often due to avoidable causes, such as the lack
of care to the blade or the blade not being properly
adjusted to the band saw. The most common causes
of blade breakage are:
• Faulty alignments and adjustments of the guides.
• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve of
short radius.
• Feeding the work piece too fast into the blade.
• Dullness of the teeth, or absence of sufficient set.
• Improperly tensioned blade.
• Top guide set too high above the work piece being
cut.

• Using a blade with a lumpy or improperly finished
braze or weld.
• Continuous running of the saw blade when not
cutting.

TIPS:

• Use blades that are 93½" in length on this machine.
• Always use a sharp blade. Keep it free from gum
and pitch. Clean frequently with a stiff fiber brush.
• Narrow blades are used for cutting small circles or
curves while the wider blades are best suited for
straight cutting such as ripping.
• A new blade, in most cases, will perform better and
last longer than a re-sharpened blade.
• Ensure that the blade guides are adjusted properly.
• Do not force or twist the blade around a curve or a
very short radius.
• Feed the workpiece through the blade at a
consistent rate, allow the blade to do the cutting –
do not feed the work piece too fast.
• Do not apply excessive tension to the blade. The
tension is only necessary to drive the blade without
slipping on the wheels. Narrow blades require less
tension than wider blades.
