Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
During sawing, the saw blade can expand due to heat, causing the tension to decrease. Occasionally readjusting the tension keeps the saw blade stable in the cut and delivers cleaner results, an end result you can achieve with a WoodProfy log band saw.
After work, you should always release the tension from the blade so that it can recover and does not become unnecessarily fatigued. Especially if you are working with a used log band saw.
With a mixture of water and a little washing-up liquid, you can cool the saw blade evenly and significantly reduce friction. This makes the blade run more smoothly, warp less, and stay sharp longer.
You should not just use drops, but a small, constant stream. This makes a noticeable difference when sawing.
Good sawing results depend on how carefully you prepare your log band saw.
If you keep the log or workpiece free of stones, dirt, and debris, correctly tension the log band saw blade, accurately adjust the guides, and cool the blade with a constant water-detergent mixture, you will get significantly cleaner cuts.
Even a single small stone can damage the cutting edge.
You should regularly check, clean, and correctly adjust the band saw blade guides.
Dirty or worn guide rollers and resin-coated rubbers on the wheels cause incorrect tension on the blade.
Clean guides guarantee smooth running, better cuts, and significantly less wear.
If you're having trouble deciding which log band saw to buy online, here are a few things to keep in mind.
A standard log band saw (such as the HBB400, HBB550, HBB650, or HBB750) is simpler to set up and operate.
Whereas a hydraulic log band saw (such as the CTR800H, CTR1000H, CTR1300H) features more complex technology but also offers many advantages.
A standard log band saw is ideal if you:
- saw small to medium quantities of wood.
- don't have very hard or thick logs.
- want to keep the purchase costs low.
A hydraulic log band saw is ideal if you:
- cut large quantities or very hard woods.
- need maximum pulling power.
- want a robust machine for intensive, professional use.
