M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw 4. Position and install the vertical cutting table with the two stop plate mounting screws as shown in Figure 24). 5. Use a 14 mm wrench to loosen the blade guide lock bolt and install the table support as shown in Figure 25. 6. Place a machinist's square on the table as shown in Figure 26, and make sure that the table and blade are square with each other. • If the table and blade are out of square, adjust the table support bracket. Figure 24. Installing the table.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw ADJUSTMENTS Belt Tension During the life of your bandsaw, you will find it necessary to change the location of the belt so the saw blade can cut at a different speed. To change the belt location you must use the belt adjustment mechanism to move the motor, which loosens or tightens the belt. To adjust the belt, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW POWER CORD! 2. Open the pulley cover and determine if the belt must be loosened or tightened.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Changing Cutting Speed Along with the correct blade selection and feed rate, the correct pulley ratio must be selected to produce the best cutting speed. With all settings correct, the metal chips should be curly and silvery, they should not be overheated and blue, or thin and powdery. To change the cutting speed, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW POWER CORD! 2.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Tension If blade tension is set incorrectly, the blade can fracture and break, become belled, or slip off of the bandsaw. You must make sure the blade tension is set in the correct range to prevent these problems. To set the blade tension, do these steps: 1. Make sure the blade tracking is set correctly. Refer to Blade Tracking on Page 31 for details. 2.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Guides The blade guide side bearings support the blade so the blade will enter the workpiece perpendicular to the table surface (see Figure 32). The blade guide support bearings prevent blade twist by stopping the blade from being pushed back during a cut. Both adjustments are the most critical saw adjustments.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw OPERATIONS General The Model M1014 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.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw 6. Insert the workpiece into the vise, so the blade will contact the flattest part of the workpiece first, and clamp the workpiece in the vise. 7. Set the cast iron stop for duplicate cuts. 8. Set the blade guide so the guides hold the blade close to the workpiece and the blade will not twist under the cutting load (refer to Blade Guides on Page 21 for instructions). Flow Lever 9.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Selection 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. However, for exact specifications of bandsaw blades, contact the blade manufacturer. There are three general rules of thumb with respect to bandsaw blade use. • • For a slower but smoother cut, use a blade with a lower TPI and a lower feed rate. 3.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Changes You will find it necessary to change blades depending on the type of material to be cut. Knowing how to correctly select, change, track, and tension the blade will extend the life of your bandsaw and blades. UNPLUG the bandsaw power cord, and NEVER work around the blade or adjust the table while the saw blade is moving! To change the bandsaw blade, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE BANDSAW POWER CORD! Figure 37. Stopping the feed cylinder. 2.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Cutting Fluid While simple in concept and function, many issues must be taken into account and addressed to find and use the correct cutting fluid. Always follow all product warnings and contact the fluid manufacturer for unanswered questions.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Feed Rate The speed at which the saw blade will cut through a workpiece is controlled by blade type, feed rate, and feed pressure. Note: If a lubricant is used on the cut, the feed rate can be increased by approximately 15%. To set the feed rate, do these steps: Feed ON/ OFF Lever and Valve 1. Raise the headstock. 2.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model M1014 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. Missing or leaking rubber toggle switch boots. Worn or damaged cords, switches, or plugs. Damaged V-belt. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Lubrication Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. However, you must periodically lubricate threaded adjustment locations and check the gear box oil level. Lubricate the following areas as follows: • Gear Box: With the headstock in the down position, wipe all dirt and metal from the fill plug, remove it, and check or add 80W-90W gear oil (see Figure 43).
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw General SERVICE This section covers the most common service adjustments or procedures that may need to be made during the life of your machine. If you require additional machine service not included in this section, please contact Woodstock International Technical Support at (360) 734-3482 or send e-mail to: tech-support@shopfox.biz.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw Blade Tracking A blade that tracks incorrectly can wear out the wheel flanges or come off of the bandsaw. You must make sure the blade tracks on the wheel so the rear of the blade is supported by the lip on the wheel or wheel flange. Figure 46. Stopping the feed cylinder. ENTANGLEMENT and LACERATION HAZARD! For this next procedure, KEEP hands and tools away from inside of bandsaw when adjusting the blade tension; otherwise, severe injury may occur.
M1014 7" x 12" Metal Cutting Bandsaw • If the blade tracking cannot be adjusted with this procedure, the wheel must be re-aligned. Go to Step 6 and complete the procedure. Otherwise, this procedure is complete. 6. With the bandsaw unplugged, loosen the set screw, and back it out as far as it will go without it falling out. 7. Use a 12mm wrench and tighten the hex bolts until they are almost snug, but still loose enough so you can still turn the flat washers with your fingers. 8.
