Problem Solver

WOOD-MACHINE-DRAGON
Q. Why does my bench saw keep lifting the wood and jamming?
Ans;
This is a very common fault with saws and easy to rectify depending on what material you are machining on a rip or panel saw and the type of blade you are using. If you are cutting a piece of timber 25mm x 350mm for instance on a panel saw then the chances are that you’re fence is incorrectly set and you require lead on the fence and you fence positioned so that the closest part of the down cut of the blade to the machinist is level with the bottom of the furthest part of the fence. If you are machining sheet material the fence should be parallel and forward too and past the rear of the blade. If you do not understand what I mean please mail me and I will advise you step by step until we eliminate you’re problem. Please be as specific as you can about the material you are machining and the type of blade (positive hook, negative triple chip 90 degree, angled tooth top or hollow face ) so that I can identify the problem quickly and make you’re working environment is safer.
N.B. YOU CAN NOT CUT TIMBER LONG GRAIN WITH NEGATIVE HOOK BLADES.
THIS IS EXTREMLY DANGEROUS
