Band Saw Common Problems: What should I do if the material is always skewed when sawing?

Sometimes, a band saw may skew when cutting. What can you do about this problem? The band saw manufacturer’s after-sales technicians can provide some solutions.

If the band saw was previously operating normally and the saw blade was fine, but it started skewing after replacing the blade, the most likely problem is the blade itself, which is usually due to blade quality. For more information on band saw blade issues, please contact our after-sales service.

Secondly, if the blade is no longer a problem, then the band saw itself should be considered. If the blade was previously fine, such as the tooth profile, then the band saw should be inspected. After all, the blade needs to be replaced regularly, so factors related to the band saw, such as insufficient blade tension or excessive feed rate, may be issues.

If all of the above issues have been eliminated, then consider whether the band saw has reached its maintenance deadline. After all, band saw parts have a lifespan, and no one knows when a problem will develop. To determine factors that may cause skewed sawing, simply check the following equipment components:
1. Guide block spacing
2. Guide arm clearance
3. Is the saw frame vertically positioned at a 90-degree angle?

The above troubleshooting will definitely resolve skewed sawing, but it’s best to first address the saw blade, unless the blade is the issue.
