What should we do if the saw teeth break or crack?
Check the selection of tooth type, pitch, cutting speed according to the cutting table. Reduce the load on the teeth (mm/Z).

How to prevent the material from vibrating?
Check the material and clamp the material as securely as possible. When cutting batches, the end of the material should be welded.
How to avoid a break in the band saw blade?
Place the blade guide as close as possible to the material being cut. Release the blade tension if you are not using the machine for a longer period of time.
Why do the teeth quickly lose their sharpness?
Try reducing the cutting speed and the load on the teeth. Check the cutting coolant: its oil concentration should be between 8-12% for most coolants or 55 if using our Syntol PC38
What can we do to when the blade is not cutting straight?
Reduce the feeding pressure (mm/Z). Set the blade guides as close as possible to the material. Adjust the guides. Replace them if they are excessively worn. Use the correct teeth settings. See the recommended teeth selection. TPI Chart UP
How to prevent the backs being rolled flat?
Adjust the back guides so the pressure is even.
How to prevent the sides being rolled thin?
Adjust the side guides. Replace the side guides if necessary.
How to reduce vibrations?
Avoid this by selecting the correct blade according to product recommendations and use the recommended teeth selection. TPI Chart UP
Clamp the material securely. Increase the band tension. Adjust the teeth load (mm/Z) and cutting speed (m/min) according to recommendations.

What should we do when the tooth gullets get clogged?
Reduce the load on the teeth. Use coarser tooth. Use the recommended teeth selection. TPI Chart UP
Check the chip brush, cutting coolant and cleaning procedure.
How to avoid a rough cutting surface?
Use finer teeth. Increase the cutting speed (m/min) but reduce the teeth load (mm/Z).
What should we do if the cutting rate is low?
Use coarser teeth. Increase the cutting speed (m/min) and increase the teeth load (mm/Z).
