Guide Arm Adjustment The upper guide arm is easily adjusted with the handle located on the left side. The height scale is calibrated to ensure the guides clear the work. Constructed from cast iron, this design has been proven to dampen vibration and noise, increasing cutting performance while reducing the cost per cut. 7
Carbide Blade Guard The blade guard swings into position with a cam locking hinge. 8
Blade Guides The carbide blade guide assembly virtually eliminates noise and vibration. The guide system offers six points of contact for maximum support and accurate sawing. Two solid carbide guides support the sides of the blade while a pressure block applies a slight forward preload. 9
Upper Band Wheel Assembly Cast iron wheels reduce vibration while sawing. A large 18.25 wheel diameter helps to reduce blade fatigue. Safety interlocks on both band wheel doors prevent the operation of the saw during blade changes and maintenance. 10
Automatic Blade Tension The Saw Column, carrying the band wheels and blade, is mounted on a cast iron carriage with six evenly spaced, permanently sealed ball bearing rollers traveling on machined rails. Once the blade is in place, a few strokes on the ratchet handle which is equipped with a positive stop, ensure correct tension every time. Alignment screws are provided to adjust blade tracking. 11
Control Panel Simplicity of operation is one of the Series 8 Mark II s greatest features. The operator friendly controls, mounted at a comfortable work height, include just four selector switches and a handy speed 12 and feed selector chart.

Blade Cleaning Brush A powered blade cleaning brush and two coolant jets help keep the blade clear of chips, increasing blade life by reducing the recirculation of chips through the cut. 17
Coolant Pump A large 21 gallon coolant reservoir and 1/8 H.P. coolant pump supply ample coolant to the cutting area and blade cleaning brush assembly. A flushing hose is furnished to aid the operator in cleaning the machine. 18
