Honsberg SAWtips

Correct use of coolant for bandsawing applications

Your advantages:

  • Reduced thermal wearout on the cutting edge
  • No build-up edges which might cause tooth damage
  • Less friction in saw blade guides
  • Improved chip flow
  • Increased life time for the saw blade

Correct installation of band saw blade

Your advantages:

  • Safe handling to avoid injuries
  • Avoid pre-damages of the saw blade
  • Using optimized tool for different applications
  • Correct alignment reduces noise & vibration and increases tool life

Checking correct blade tension

Your advantages:

  • Reliable machine parameters by double check
  • Achieving repeatable cutting results
  • Replacing technical wear parts in time
  • Correct alignment reduces noise & vibration caused by incorrect parameters

Unpacking and opening of band saw blades

Your advantages:

  • Safe handling to avoid injuries as blades are under tension
  • Controlled opening prevents blade damages before installation

Checking correct blade speed

Your advantages:

  • Achieving repeatable cutting results
  • Correct blade tension reduces noise & vibration Longer life time

Tying up a band saw blade

Your advantages:

  • Safe handling to avoid injuries
  • Controlled and safe space-saving storage or final disposal

Correct usage of wedge

Your advantages:

  • The wedge prevents the blade from pinching while the cutting channel tends to close due to inner stress
  • Machine does not shut down, cutting is possible under normal conditions
  • Wedge gives you the possibility to continue the operation also under difficult material conditions
