    9" x 14" Vertical Metal-Cutting Bandsaw the feed rate is the rate at which the saw frame travels. on the Model g0659, the feed rate is controlled hydraulically by a knob on the control panel. the optimal feed rate depends on the type and dimensions of stock being cut as well as the blade being used.
  • Page 22: Feed Pressure

    Model g0659, the feed pressure is controlled by a coun- terweight mechanism located on the base of the machine. the optimal feed pressure depends on the type and dimensions of the stock being cut as well as the blade being used.

    Without turning the saw frame stop, tighten the lock nut. g0659 9" x 14" Vertical Metal-Cutting Bandsaw Locking Blade To lock the blade in the forward position: remove the stop clamp, then release the saw frame by lifting the saw release lever.
  • Page 24: Blade Selection

    Blade width dictates the largest and smallest curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it can cut a straight line—generally the wider the blade, the straighter it will cut. the Model g0659 uses a ⁄ "–1" wide blade.
