Metal Cutting Bandsaw Uses And Safety

Metal Cutting Bandsaw Machine is used for designing and cutting bar stocks, tubes, pipes and sheets in various desired contours. It has a thin and flexible bandsaw blade that has cutting teeth on one side. The designing is very simple with the blades stretched over two pulleys, where the upper one is left idle and the lower one is driven by an electric motor. It cuts by drawing the bandsaw blade across the workpiece which is supported by a wheel and idler wheel.

The operator has to use his hands to feed the workpiece on the table against the blade for the desired cut and shape. If proper safety regulations are not followed during the feeding process, the operator might injure his hands or other body parts. Listed below are some of the safety tips that must be considered while working on Metal Cutting Bandsaw Machine:

Safety Tips for Using Bandsaw Machine

• While working on the bandsaw machine, remove tie, watch, rings any such accessories. Roll up the sleeves above your elbows and remove all the outer clothing. Also, avoid wearing loose clothes.

• Always wear protective footwear but gloves should be avoided when operating the bandsaw machine. Along with this, wear approved safety shield and goggles to protect the eyes from any injury.

• In order to minimize the danger of slipping, keep the table and floor around the machine clean and free of scrap materials, oil, chip, grease, coolants, tools and other such items.

• Keep the blade guard in place all the time which is about 1/8 to ¼ inch above the stock. Always keep hands away from the blade and do not open the lower or upper bandsaw doors until the blades are in motion. Never overreach the machine and maintain a balanced stance all the time.

• Always use blades that are in good condition. Those blades that are not sharp or have missing teeth may require excessive force further increasing the chances of any accident.
