Adjustments

General Instructions:

Below are some basic instruction to properly operate the VDL-18 bandsaw machine.

Make sure the blade is properly adjusted for tension and tracking.
Adjust blade guide assembly so that the guide guides are just above the workpiece (about 3/16″) allowing minimum exposure to the blade.
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.
Turn the machine on and wait a few seconds for the machine to fully get up to speed.
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. Let the blade do the work.
NOTE: ( DO NOT over feed that bandsaw blade. This will reduce blade life and have a greater chance of breaking the blade).
When cutting long stock, the operator should use roller stands, support tables, or an assistant to help stabilize the workpiece.
When cutting at an angle with a tilted table, provide a guide against which the material being cut can rest. Freehand cutting at an angle can result in injury, and maintaining an accurate cut is difficult.

Blade Installation Steps:

Disconnect the machine from the power source before making any adjustments.

Open the top door to the machine. Located on the back side of tensioner wheel is 13mm bolt and a ½” nut. Loosen to be finger loose. You DO NOT need to take the screw all the way out. This will save you a headache in the future.
Lower the tension lever handle down to the minimum position. This will allow the blade to lose its tension.
Loosen the blue blade guides located the adjustable blade guide height also below the worktable.
NOTE: (Sometimes, the upper wheel might stick in place over time after the tension handle is compressed. Spray WD-40 or PB-Blaster in the tensioning slot is located occasionally to prevent this from happening. If the wheel is still stuck, pull downward on the wheel to be released)
On the top section door, open the red or yellow magnetic blade guard to expose the blade cavity. Finally open the bottom cabinet door to expose the drive pulley of the saw.
With the bottom door open, locate the plastic blade guide slider that slide between the bandsaw blade and remove.
Remove the throating plate that is surrounding the blade on the worktable.
Carefully unravel the blade, and slide he blade into the slot leading to the worktable throat plate area with the blade teeth facing you. Finally slide the blade into the left-hand side grove located on the main frame of the bandsaw.
Work the blade around the upper and lower pulley wheels. Make sure the blades are as evenly centered around the wheels as best as you can.
Raise the blade tensioner lever handle to the maximum position to tighten the blade.
To make your final adjustments, the adjusting wheel that is facing upward above the worktable adjusts your final blade tensioning. The wheel has a reverse thread, therefore turning the wheel to the left with tighten the blade tension and turning the wheel to the right will loosen the blade tension.
The scale inside the top half door of the bandsaw is a good reference to use determining what tensions are good based off the width of the blades for many applications.

High to Low Setting & FPM setting:

– First will explain the procedure to change the 18CX from high gear to low gear or vice versa. The same procedure applies both ways.

Disconnect the machine from the power source before making any adjustments.

Turn the machine off and unplug from the power source.
NOTE: (The motor MUST BE OFF before going to the next step)
Once the motor is completely off, slide the lever to the desired high to low setting. You may run into situations where the level does not fully go into low or high. If so, carefully rotate the blade while trying to put the motor into gear. The lever will fully go into to gear.

Blade Speed Ranges (FPM)

High Gear Range|

1200 – 3500 FPM

Low Gear Range

|

100 – 290 FPM

– Below is the procedure to change the FPMs of the bandsaw ( SAW ON, AND RUNNING ).

To change to the desired RPM on the bandsaw, the bandsaw MUST be on and the blade rotating in the required gear prior changing the speed.
Locate the motor locking level located on the back side if the bandsaw near the bottom by the motor. Loosen the lever handle.
The adjuster hand wheel located on the bottom right of the bandsaw adjusts the blade speed. referencing to the dial located on the back of the motor.
Slowly rotate the handwheel CW to increase the blade speed, or CCW to decrease the blade speed.
Tighten the motor locking lever back in place immediately.

USE CAUTION: Never start the VDL-18 bandsaw with any slack in the drive belt. Doing so can cause machine damage as the belt is forced to pull through the slack.

Blade Guidepost Adjustment:

– The following steps are to properly adjust the Blade Guidepost height on the VDL-18 Bandsaw.

Locate the guidepost locking screw located on the rear top half go the bandsaw. To make any adjustments, loosen the locking screw to allow the blade guidepost to freely move vertically.
The hand wheel located above the blade guidepost on the side of the machine adjusts the vertical movement of the guidepost.
NOTE: (Maintain a clearance of 3/16 inch between the blade guidepost and the workpiece to allow minimum exposed blade to prevent injury).
After correctly adjusting the height of the blade guidepost, ALWAYS tighten the guidepost screw for the guide will stay in the desired position.

Table Tilt:

– The following steps are to properly adjust the Table Tilt angle on the VDL-18 Bandsaw.

Loosen lock nut and stop bolt until it does not contact the table underneath the worktable.
On both side of the worktable, there are 2 locking levers. Loosen them both then the table is free to move to the desired angle of cut.
Pivot the worktable referencing to the protractor angle to set the angle of cut.
Tighten the level handles, stop bolt, and locking nut to secure the wanted angle. CW is 45 degrees, CCW is 15 degrees degree of freedom.

Fence Assembly Adjustment:

– The following steps are to properly adjust the Fence Assembly Adjustment on the VDL-18 Bandsaw. This will change the accuracy length cut of the workpiece. Check the clearance between the table and the fence. The fence should not rub against the table surface but be slightly above it. This gap should be the same at the front of the table as it is at the rear.

Loosen the fence locking wheel located on the fence assembly.
The fence is now free to move vertically along the worktable.
Once in the desired spot, lock the fence in place by tightening the locking screw.

Top Idler Wheel Camber Adjustment

– This adjustment aligns the tilt of the idler pully align with the drive pulley. If the wheel seems to be off centered, making noise, follow these steps to properly align the blade.

By a visual explanation, the top idler wheel is not aligning properly and needs to be calibrated. Rotate wheel so that the most inward motion of the wheel is at the bottom dead center of the rotation.
On the back side of the bandsaw, loosen the locking nut located above the tensioning lever.
If the adjusting screw-wheel is tightened, the camber of the wheel will also increase accordingly. If the screw is loosened, the camber would go in the negative direction.
Adjust until the wheel rotates with no vertical wobbling motion is present.

Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance to the machine, make sure to unplug the cord from the power source before cleaning.

– Maintain bearing guides clean and free of build-up.
– 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.
– The table surface should be always kept clean and free of rust for best results. talcum powder applied with a blackboard eraser rubbed in vigorously once a week; this will fill casting pores and form a moisture barrier. This method provides a tabletop that is slick and allows rust rings to be easily wiped from the surface.
– Clean and grease all mechanical movement components such as gears, bars, if it becomes difficult to adjust.
– Clean and oil the tensioning mechanism if it becomes difficult to adjust.
– Check the drive V-belt for cracks overtime. Replace if any irregular wear is present.
