MOUNTING BAND SAW TO

WORKBENCH

See Figure 9.

If the band saw is to be used in a permanent applica

tion, we recommend that you secure it in a permanent

location such as a workbench. When mounting the

saw to a workbench, holes should be drilled through

the supporting surface of the workbench using dimen

sions illustrated.

■

Each leg should be bolted securely using 5/16 in.

diameter machine screws, lock washers, and

5/16 in. hex nuts (not included). Screw length

should be 1-3/4 in. plus the thickness of the

bench top.

■

Locate and mark the holes where band saw is to
be mounted.

■

Drill (4) 3/8 in. diameter holes through work

bench,

■

Place band saw on workbench aligning holes in

the frame with holes drilled in the workbench.

■

insert all four 5/16 in. screws and tighten se

curely with lock washers and hex nuts.

Note:

All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install

the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of
the bench.

Supporting surface where band saw is mounted

should be examined carefully after mounting to insure

that no movement during use can result. If any tipping

or walking is noted, secure workbench or supporting

surface before beginning cutting operations.
