DESCRIPTION:
The "Dino" Bandsaw Setter is a portable
bandsaw blade setter capable of setting raker style bandsaw blades up to 54mm (2
1/8”) wide and with tooth pitches up to 28mm (1-1/8") It can be used in
conjunction with the Dino Profiler/Sharpener to maintain your blades for optimum
performance.
Four cams are located along a common shaft. The two
outside setting cams (3) with the single lobes, actuate the setting yoke while the two
inside 3 lobe cams (4&5) control the clamping of the blade (4) and the tooth indexing
arm (5). Three teeth are indexed for every single rotation of the handle with the setting
action occurring twice (one left-one right) in the same cycle. The blade clamp is released
while the next tooth is indexed which is again clamped as the setting screw bends the
tooth.
The handle may be rotated in either a clockwise or anti
clockwise direction but this alters the setting sequence of the teeth from
left-right-straight to right-left-straight. The feed cam (5) must then be rotated 180
degrees by first loosening it’s grub screw and turning the cam 180 degrees and
retightening the screw to ensure the correct sequence otherwise clamping occurs while the
tooth is being indexed.
The rapid action and the sequential nature of the
"Dino" Bandsaw Setter means that all working parts must operate freely and if
the number of blade teeth is not a multiple of 3 then ensure you start and finish at the
join.
