UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS

Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material.

WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals. If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing parts are obtained and installed correctly.

Cleaning

WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.

CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area. Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted surfaces. Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning, wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-6

Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING

NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well-balanced.

Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley

  • The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times the machines gross weight.
  • Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
  • Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the complete width of the machine.
  • Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
  • Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
  • Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
  • Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no rocking is taking place.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:

  • Overall weight of the machine.
  • Weight of material being processed.
  • Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
  • Space needed for auxiliary stands, worktables, or other machinery.
  • Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
  • Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
  • Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
  • Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
  • Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects.
  • If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend into any aisles.
  • LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
  • FLOOR: This machine distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator. The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to eliminate by using shims.
  • WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
  • POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
Anchoring the Machine
  • Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of the stand.
  • This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.

Upper and Lower Blade Guides

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-13

The blade guides provide side-to-side and back support for keeping the blade straight while cutting material. The blade guides are tungsten steel where they come in contact with the blade to reduce wear on the guides. The guides must be kept properly adjusted for accurate cuts.

ELECTRICAL

CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.

WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.

Power Specifications

Your machine is wired for 110 volts, 60hz alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the power source is OFF. Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency is ±1%.

Considerations

  • Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
  • The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with an amperage rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
  • A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine.
  • All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
  • 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 machine 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.

WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

  • Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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.
  • Check with qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
  • Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Extension Cord Safety

Extension cord should be in good condition and meet the minimum wire gauge requirements listed below:

| LENGTH
---|---
AMP RATING| 25ft| 50ft| 100ft
1-12| 16| 16| 14
13-16| 14| 12| 12
17-20| 12| 12| 10
21-30| 10| 10| No
| WIRE GAUGE

An undersized cord decreases line voltage, causing loss of power and overheating. All cords should use a ground wire and plug pin. Replace any damaged cords immediately.

Power cord connection

  1. Turn the main disconnect switch on the control panel to the OFF position.
  2. Unwrap the power cord and route the cord away from the machine toward the power supply.
    • Route the power cord so that it will NOT become entangled in the machine in any way.
    • Route the cord to the power supply in a way that does NOT create a trip hazard.
  3. Connect the power cord to the power supply and check that the power cord has not been damaged during installation.
  4. When the machine is clear of any obstruction. The main power switch may be turn ON to test the operation. Turn the switch OFF when the machine is not in operation.

BEFORE EACH USE

  • For dusty operations, wear a face shield along with safety goggles.
  • It is important to choose the right blade for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do. This saw is equipped with a bi-metallic blade which can be used to cut stainless steel, steel, iron, brass, aluminum, wood, plastic.
  • Make sure the direction of rotation arrow on the blade matches the direction arrow on the saw. The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw.
  • Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and properly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the power-head all the way down. Rotate the blade by hand checking for clearance. If the blade hits anything, make the adjustments shown in the Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity section.
  • Never cut freehand.
  • Make sure the cut-off piece can move sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
  • Never turn the saw “ON” before clearing everything except the work piece beneath the blade.
  • Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.

Whenever Saw is Running

  • Never confine the piece being cut out.
  • Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use length stops against it. It must be free to move sideways. If confined, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
  • Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.
  • Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
  • Feed the saw into the work piece only fast enough to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
  • Before freeing jammed material, turn the switch off and unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
  • After finishing a cut, keep holding the saw bow down, release the switch, and wait for all moving parts to stop before moving your hands.

Breaking in a Band Saw Blade

Sharp cutting edges with extremely small edge radii are required for high cutting capacity. To achieve the optimal tool life we recommend breaking-in the blade accordingly. The correct cutting speed is determined by the material being cut and its dimensions. It is very important that the new blade is first used with only 50% of the determined feed rate. This will avoid micro- breakages of the blade because of too large chip thicknesses. New band saw blades may tend toward vibrations and vibration sounds. In this case a slight reduction of the cutting speed is helpful. With small workpiece dimensions approximately 300cm² of the material should be cut for breaking-in. If large work piece dimensions are to be cut, we recommend a breaking-in period of about 15 minutes. After breaking-in you may slowly increase the feed rate up to the determined value.

Metal Chip Indicators

Chips are the best indicator of correct material feed force. Monitor chip information and adjust feed accordingly.

  • Thin or Powdered Chips – increase feed rate or reduce saw speed
  • Burned Chips – reduce feed rate and / or saw speed
  • Curly Silvery and Warm Chips – optimum feed rate and saw speed

Baileigh Industrial offers a wide selection of tooth styles for various cutting applications. Please phone Baileigh Industrial at (920.684.4990) or fax to (920.684.3944) to have one of our technicians assist you in selecting the proper band saw blade for your cutting applications.

BLADE CARE

  • The bandsaw blade is subjected to a tremendous amount of strain. Make sure to always use the appropriate feed rate for the type material you are cutting.
  • Be sure to select a blade of the proper width, style, and pitch that will produce the best cut in your material. Choosing the wrong blade can produce excess heat that can adversely affect the life of the blade.
  • A clean blade performs much better than one that is dirty. Blades that are gummed up and dirty offer more resistance when cutting through the material. This in turn creates unnecessary heat in the blade.

Choosing A Saw Blade

A general-purpose blade is furnished with this band saw. To achieve a quality, economical, and efficient saw cut, the following points must be taken into consideration:

  • Type of material being cut (ferrous or non ferrous)
  • Material hardness and physical dimensions
  • Blade descent rate
  • Longitudinal speed of blade
  • Blade tooth profile

Choose a tooth pitch that is suitable for the workpiece. Thin walled profiles, including tubes and pipes require close toothing. At least 3-6 teeth should be in contact with the material while cutting. Large solid or transverse sections require widely spaced toothing to allow for greater volume of chips and better tooth penetration. Soft materials such as plastics, light alloys, mild bronze, Teflon, etc. require widely spaced toothing to avoid clogging.

Width of Blade

The blade width determines the largest and the smallest curve that can be cut. Usually the wider a blade is, the more accurate and straighter it will cut.

Length of Blade

The length of the band saw blade can be measured with a tape measure at its circumference or by the formula below:

Blade Length = (2 x A) + (3.14 x B)

  • A = the distance in inches between the band saw pulley centers (when the upper pulley is midway in its adjustment range).
  • B = the band saw pulley diameter.

BLADE BREAKAGE

In some cases, blade breakage is unavoidable due to the stresses that are imparted on the blade. Avoidable breakage is often the result of poor care, or poor operator judgment when it comes to adjusting or mounting the blade or blade guides. Listed below are some of the more common reasons for blade breakage.

  • Top blade guide assembly is set too high above the piece part.
  • The blade is tensioned incorrectly.
  • Piece part is fed into the blade too quickly.
  • Blade teeth are dull or broken.
  • Blade is not properly aligned with the guides.
  • Forcing a large width blade to cut a small radius.
  • Using a blade with an improperly finished weld joint.
  • Allowing the blade to run when not in use. (NEVER leave an unattended blade running.)
SAW OPERATION

CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection operating the saw. The bandsaw blade is sharp and will cut fingers and hands. Keep hands and fingers clear of the blade. Use a block of wood as a pusher for the material being cut. It is recommended to always wear leather gloves when working near the blade.

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-15

  1. Verify the work area including the table is clear of obstructions.
  2. Set the guide post (A) to approximately .25″ (6.35mm) above the piece part and tighten the guide post knob.
  3. Set the table and if being used, the fence as needed to complete the cut. Have a push block within reach without crossing the blade path or vision of the cut area. Simulating the cut without power may be helpful.
  4. Set the work lamp position to provide additional light at the cut site without interfering with the material or the ability to maintain control of the material for the entire cut.
  5. Have proper support for the material to be cut. This should include both the finished piece and the excess material.
  6. Press the start button to energize the motor stating the blade. The saw blade should now be moving. If any abnormal sounds or vibrations are noticed, press the red stop button immediately.
  7. Adjust the variable speed (B) until the desired speed is indicated on the speed display.
  8. Carefully place the material on the table.
  9. When positioned, feed the material into the blade using a steady smooth motion.
  10. When the cut is complete, press the red stop button on the control panel and wait until the blade stops before removing any material near the blade.

OPERATION OF BLADE WELDER

Overall Description

CAUTION: The bandsaw blade is sharp and can cut your hand or fingers. Always disconnect power to the saw and wear leather gloves when working near the blade.

The weld station on the Baileigh band saw can butt weld and anneal blades from 0.118″ (3mm) to 0.625” (16mm) wide by 0.032″ (0.8mm) thick. It is a resistance type welder with two jaws that secure the blade ends during the welding process. A selector knob is turned counterclockwise (ccw) to pre-load the left jaw, forcing the blade ends against one another. When the operator presses the weld button, electric current passes through the butted blade ends. The left jaw blade end is pushed into the molten puddle and welded to the right blade end. Remove the blade from the jaws if any weld flash is present and carefully grind it off. The blade joint must now be placed back into the jaws where annealing of the weld joint takes place. This procedure will reheat the weld area so it is not so brittle and should return it to its original condition. It may become necessary to weld blades when:

  • They break unexpectedly and the teeth are still sharp enough to cut.
  • You need to make blades from a bulk saw blade coil.
  • When you need to weld a blade that was cut to make an internal contour cut on a piece part.
Preparing the Saw Band Prior to Welding

_ CAUTION: _Shear Hazard – Keep Hands from Under Blade.

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-16

Blade Cutter:  To cut the band apart or to cut the band to a specified length, use the blade shear. The shear is capable of cutting saw bands from 0.118″ to .625″ (3mm to 16mm) in width and 0.025″ to 0.035″ (0.63mm to 0.89mm) in thickness. To use the blade cutter, raise the handle, lay between the blades perpendicular to the cutting knife, and make the cut.

If the saw band is not square after shearing, use the grinding wheel to square it up. Take small cuts so as not to overheat the blade band. To get both ends of the band to match perfectly, twist it and hold the ends so that the teeth are on opposite sides and pointing in opposite directions. Now grind as shown below.

Tooth Spacing on Blade Band: Occasionally one or more teeth may have to be ground off on either side of the cut to ensure blade tooth uniformity.

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-18

Preparing the Blade Welder

WARNING: The electrical current that flows through the blade welder when operating could cause Serious Personal Injury or Death. To avoid the risk of electrocution, never touch any metal part of the weld station during welding or annealing of the blade.

  1. Make sure the jaws of the welder are clean to make good electrical contact.
  2. Check that the jaws will adequately hold the thickness of blade you are using.
  3. The left jaw should slide easily when turning the weld force selector knob.
  4. Check over the grinding wheel and make sure it is in good condition.

Making the Weld

  1. Before making a weld, turn off the band saw motor by pressing the red “stop” button.
  2. Turn the weld pressure selector knob clockwise (cw) to the “0” position.
  3. After squaring the ends of the blade, insert the spine edge of the blade into each jaw butting the cut ends together and centered between the jaws.
  4. Secure the blade by raising the handles. Check that the blade ends fit together with no gap. If a gap is noticed, remove and re-square the blade.
  5. Turn the weld force selector knob from “0” to the third marker. This would be for a 0.25″ (6.3mm wide blade. (Every 2mm of blade width = 1 marker approx.), this applies pressure to hold the ends of the blade together.
    • WARNING: Sparks from the blade welding operation can be thrown in all directions and can cause serious personal injury or fire. When using the blade welder, always protect yourself and others from flying sparks. Keep fire extinguisher equipment close by and DO NOT weld near flammables.
  6. Press and hold the green weld button until the left jaw blade end is pushed into the molten puddle and welded to the right blade end. As soon as the left jaw moves into the right jaw, release the green weld button. Electric current passes through the butted blade ends. The left jaw blade end is pushed into the molten puddle and welded to the right blade end. Inspect the weld carefully after removing from the welder.
  7. If you see what appears to be an excessive amount of flashing you can try backing off on the weld force setting.

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-20

Annealing the Weld

CAUTION: The bandsaw blade is sharp and can cut your hand or fingers. Heat from the welding and annealing process can cause severe burns. Always wear leather gloves when working near the blade.

  1. When a saw band is butt welded, the site of the weld “air hardens” and will become brittle. To return the metal to its approximate original state it must be gradually heated and cooled several times called annealing.
  2. Turn the weld force selector knob to “0”.
  3. Clamp the saw band in the jaws making sure to carefully center the weld. It is still brittle.
  4. Press the red annealing button quickly with a few short bursts to make the weld area a dull orangish-red. (The wider the blade, the more bursts and time it will take.) After reaching a dull orangish-red, allow the area to cool 15-30 seconds and then repeat the heat twice more. Too much heat can damage the temper or burn through and destroy the weld.
  5. After welding and tempering the blade, test the strength and flexibility of the saw band by bending it in an arc similar to the pulley on the saw.

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-21

Grinding the Weld

CAUTION: The bandsaw blade is sharp and can cut your hand or fingers. Keep hands and fingers away from rotating grinding wheel. Wear proper eye protection. Always wear leather gloves when working near the blade.

  1. The grinding wheel is used for both preparing the saw band for welding and removing flash after annealing. Flash must be removed from both sides of the weld to maintain the blades actual thickness. This will then allow the blade to pass through the guides without any obstructions.
  2. DO NOT burn or overheat the weld area when grinding.

SAW ADJUSTMENTS

Guide Post

The guide post assembly serves two purposes.

  • First, it positions the orange blade guard between the piece part and the upper pulley housing to protect the operator from the exposed blade.
  • Second, it positions the upper blade guides close to the piece part for support of the blade.

To properly position the guide post

  1. DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE BANDSAW.
  2. Loosen the guide post knob (A).
  3. Use the handwheel (B) to lower or raise the guide post.
  4. Locate the bottom of the blade guides .25″ (6.35mm) above the piece part and tighten the guide post knob to hold it securely.

Graduated Scales to Show Tilt of Table

The table can be tilted either forward or back and left or right, or in combination. It can be tilted 15° left and 45° right. For left and right tilting, the table has a scale to indicate the tilt angle.

Adjusting the Blade Guides

  1. DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE BAND SAW.
  2. Check to make sure the guide post is secure, and the blade has been properly tensioned.
  3. Using a 5mm hex wrench you need to loosen the socket cap screws “A” and “B”.
  4. Slide the blade guide bracket so the blade guides are approximately 0.06″ (1.58mm) behind the tooth gullets as shown. Tighten socket cap screw “A” only.BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-fig-24
    • Note: The blade guides need to be adjusted far enough back so they are behind the tooth gullets when the blade is pushed back against the blade support.
  5. With socket capscrew “B” still loose, slide the blade support rod up to, but not touching the back end of the blade. Re-tighten socket capscrew “B”.
  6. Next the blade needs to be centered between the blade guides. To do this, first loosen the socket capscrews “C” using a 5mm hex wrench. Now slide a piece of copy machine paper or a dollar bill between each side of the blade guide and the blade. Either of them should be 0.004” (0.1mm) thick. Gently pinch the paper between the blade guides and the blade. Now tighten each socket capscrew “C”. (Check the position of the air nozzle). The guides should now be positioned correctly without touching the blade.

_ Note: _Over time the blade inserts will wear. When this happens, flip over and reverse the guides. If the blade wears a groove into the blade support, loosen and rotate it to a new spot.

Blade Tension Adjustment Wheel

Without proper tension a bandsaw blade cannot deliver the necessary cutting efficiency. Not enough tension can lead to blade runout, increased wear, and poor finish on the piece part. Too much tension can cause the blade to break. To check the blade tension, you can use a blade tensioner or by hand as explained below.

To properly tension the blade, follow the procedure below

  1. DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE BANDSAW.
  2. Open the upper pulley access door.
  3. Loosen the guide post adjusting knob and raise the upper blade guide as high as it will go and secure it.
  4. Check the blade deflection at a point halfway between the table and the upper blade guide. It should be about 0.37” (9.5mm) when applying a moderate side pressure.
  5. If a tension adjustment is necessary, make small adjustments to the handwheel. Turning the handwheel clockwise (cw) increases the tension and turning it counterclockwise (ccw) will decrease the blade tension. After adjusting the handwheel, rotate the top pulley several times by hand and then re-check the deflection.

Note: As the top pulley is rotated, make sure the blade does not touch the flange of the pulley.

IMPORTANT: To prolong the life of the blade, release the tension on the blade if the bandsaw will be idle for an extended period of time.

Changing a Blade

CAUTION: The bandsaw blade is sharp and can cut your hand or fingers. Always disconnect power to the saw and wear leather gloves when working near the blade.

  1. DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE BANDSAW.
  2. Unlatch and swing open the upper and lower pulley access doors.
  3. Release the blade tension by rotating the tension wheel (A) counterclockwise (ccw).
  4. Put on gloves to protect your hands. Now slide the blade off of the upper and lower sheaves, around the blade guards, and through the slot in the table.
  5. Install the new blade in the reverse order with the teeth facing forward toward the door and the tips of the teeth pointing downward toward the work table.
  6. Make sure the blade is centered on the wheels and engaged between the upper and lower blade guides.
  7. Turn the tension wheel to tighten the blade following the “Blade Tension Adjustment Wheel” procedure.
  8. Carefully make a few rotations of the top sheave by hand to make sure the blade band is tracking evenly.
Blade Tracking

Note

  • Blade tracking has been set at the factory and should not require adjusting.
  • Before making any tracking adjustments, try a new blade. Warped blades will not track properly.

If a tracking issue occurs, adjust the top sheave. When the blade band is tracking towards the flange:

BAILEIGH-BSV-12VS-V2-Variable-Speed-Vertical-Band-Saw-
fig-28

  1. Loosen the (4) bearing plate mounting bolts.
  2. Back out the top (2) jack screws a bit.
  3. Re-tighten the (4) mounting bolts and check the tracking again.
  4. Reverse the procedure to track the blade band away from the flange.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING

  • Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine.
  • Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
  • Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.

Daily Maintenance

  • Do a general cleaning by removing dust and metal chips from the machine.
  • Clean the blade brush.
  • Inspect the saw blade for wear.
  • Check that the blade guards and emergency stop button are in good working order.
