Here we have a metal cutting bandsaw used in its horizontal position.
Band saw machine guarding.
First of all a term to teach you.
Operate on 1 aaa battery sold separately.
The easiest way to avoid injury is to use properly guarded saws and appropriate safety equipment.
All guards should be in place before use.
We bought the one for the band saw and drill press.
Most of the aftermarket machine guards are junk.
Increase safety and visibility with these blade guards that have a built in light.
Made of clear acrylic guards attach to your band saw blade s support arm at an angle to minimize glare.
They are also completely adjustable covering a wide range of positions for any possible stock size.
A wider gap will place tension on the blade and increase the risk of breaking.
There are a couple of things with machine guarding on a bandsaw that we need to be mindful of.
However this machine is usually considered a manual feed tool.
Start up the band saw.
The portion of the blade that s doing the actual cutting of the stock is called the point of operation.
Increase safety and visibility with these blade guards that have a built in light.
When you use a band saw adjust the blade guards to within 1 8 to 1 4 inch from the top of the material.
Very happy with our purchase.
The two types of band saws horizontal and vertical are named for their respective cutting blade positions.
Set blade tension within manufacturer standards.
These are well designed well made and professional looking.
