What determines the condition and performance of the canvas guides?
Despite the fact that the "condition of the guide webs" in our article occupies only the 5th place, and after it in the 6th place is the item "position of the guide webs", as soon as we begin to move on to the factors that mainly affect the efficiency of using band saws, then both of them, in particular in a literal sense, they are indispensable both when reducing efficiency and when reducing the quality of lumber.
When it comes to factors that strongly affect the efficiency of band sawing machines, they are very important both in reducing efficiency and in reducing the quality of lumber.
The guide rails must be inspected frequently, the gap must reach no more than 0.003 inches, the roller guides must move only on their axes and at the same time freely.
The guides need to be checked under normal operating conditions and with each change of canvas, or just twice a shift.
