SETUP Note: Some parts and hardware may already be installed on the machine.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Machine Placement • Floor Load: This machine distributes a heavy load in a small footprint. Some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator. • Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your bandsaw.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Mounting to Shop Floor Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it will be necessary to use a precision level to level your machine.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Moving & Placing Unit The Model M1048 comes with lifting brackets installed on the base. Use a forklift and straps rated for the machine weight to lift the machine off the pallet and onto a suitable location (see Figure 8). The lifting brackets can be removed and saved for future use. The Model M1048 is an extremely heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Chip Tray The chip tray fits over the lip of the base as illustrated in Figure 11. Feed Stop Depending on how the Model M1048 was shipped, it may be necessary to adjust the feed stop before the test run. The blade should not make contact with any part of the vise assembly. To adjust the feed stop bolt, do these steps: SETUP 1. Adjust the feed stop bolt and jam nut (Figure 12), so the bandsaw blade teeth are 1⁄16" below the vise table surface.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Test Run Complete this process once you have familiarized yourself with all instructions in this manual. To test run the bandsaw, do these steps: Read the entire instruction manual. 2. Make sure all tools and foreign objects have been removed from the machine. 3. Put on safety glasses and secure loose clothing or long hair. 4. Connect the bandsaw to power. 5. Raise the bandsaw and close the feed control knob to keep the saw in place. 6.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw OPERATIONS General The Model M1048 will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw The vise can be adjusted to cut any angle from a straight 90 degree cut-off, to a 45 degree angle by loosening the two vise lock handles. Positive stops at 90° and 45° allow you to quickly return the rear jaw to either angle. Angles between 90° and 45° can be read using the scale on the side of the vise table. Use a combination square or bevel protractor if higher precision is required when finding these angles.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Guide Arms The blade guide bearings are mounted on the front and rear arms. The rear arm is adjustable and should be set as close to the workpiece as possible. This will help ensure straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting and drifting off of the cut line. Knob Blade Guides To adjust the rear blade guide arm: Loosen the knob shown in Figure 18 and slide the rear blade guide as close to the workpiece as possible, then tighten the knob.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Selection The Model M1048 uses 1293⁄8" x 11⁄16" bandsaw blades. Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of material being cut, hardness of the material, material shape machine capability, and operator technique. The chart below is a basic starting point for choosing blade type based on teeth per inch (TPI) for variable tooth pitch blades and for standard raker type bi-metal blades/HSS blades.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Speed The Model M1048 has four speed settings—114, 196, 288, and 377 feet per minute (FPM). Refer to the chart on Page 19 for cutting speed recommendations by material type. To change blade speeds, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW! 2. Open the belt cover. 3. With one hand, support the weight of the motor. With the other hand, loosen the belt tension knob (see Figure 21). The motor will drop and the V-belt will slacken. 4.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw 4. Look for the following signs to determine the best feed rate setting for your workpiece. • If you get warn tightly-curled shavings, that are brown to black in color, you are using too much downward pressure. • Blue looking chips are from extreme heat caused by high blade speed. • Thin powder-like chips are from insufficient feed pressure. This will dull your blade faster.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Cutting Fluid NEVER attempt to cut magnesium when using soluble oils or emulsions (oil-water solutions) as a cutting fluid! The water in the solution will increase the risk of an accidental magnesium-chip fire. For cutting magnesium alloys, use a specific cutting fluid intended for magnesium. While simple in concept and function, many issues must be taken into account and addressed to find and use the correct cutting fluid.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Operation Tips The following tips will help you safely and effectively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the maximum life out of your saw blades. Tips for horizontal cutting: Use the work stop to quickly and accurately cut multiple pieces of stock to the same length. • Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to ensure a straight cut through the material and use the quick release vise feature to speed production.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model M1048 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary: • • • • • • • Loose mounting bolts. Damaged or dull saw blade. Worn or damaged wires, or other unsafe condition. Clean after each use. Proper blade tension and coolant level. Check gear box fluid level.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw • Blade and Guides: Drop a few drops of light machine oil on the blade and the blade guides daily, especially when cutting cast iron, as no cutting fluid is recommended (see Figure 27). • Table and Machined Surfaces: Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like SLIPIT®. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.

M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Change Tension Handle CUTTING HAZARD! Blades are sharp! Wear heavy leather gloves when handling blades to prevent cuts. Blades should be changed when they become dull, damaged, or when you are using materials that require a blade of a certain type or tooth count. SERVICE To change the blade on the bandsaw, do these steps: Blade Guard Figure 31. Tension handle and blade. 1. DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM POWER! 2.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Tension & Tracking Proper blade tension is essential to long blade life, straight cuts, and efficient cutting. The Model M1048 features a blade tension indicator to assist you with blade tensioning. �� �� ��� �� �� � Two major signs that you do not have proper blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently breaks from being too tight.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Guide Bearings The blade guide bearings are adjusted at the factory but due to shipping and storage may need adjustment. Use Figures 37 & 38 to guide you through the following steps. To adjust the blade guide bearings, do these steps: 1. Before making adjustments, make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking correctly. 2. DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM POWER! 3. Raise the bow high enough to give you room to work, then lock in place. 4.
M1048 10" x 18" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Squaring Blade to Table This adjustment has been made at the factory and should not need to be adjusted under normal circumstances. However, if you find the saw is not cutting square, you may need to adjust the blade. Only make this adjustment after factors such as excessive feed rate or the blade guide being set too far away from the workpiece have been ruled out. To square the blade the to the table, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM POWER! 2.
