Pulleys
With the bandsaw unit mounted firmly onto the
stand, the pulleys need to be installed next.
1. Locate the upper pulley from your loose
parts. Make sure the key is in the upper pul-
ley shaft keyway as shown in
Figure 12.
2. The wheel pulley is shaped so that it must be
installed with the curved side out (look at the
side profile of the wheel pulley to determine
this shape).
3. Align the the keyway in the pulley to the key
on the shaft and insert the wheel pulley as
far as it will go on the shaft. A few taps with
a dead blow rubber hammer may be neces-
sary to fit the wheel pulley all the way onto
the shaft.
4. Insert one of the 1 ⁄
4
"-20 x 1 ⁄
4
" setscrews into
the wheel pulley and tighten to the shaft as
shown in
Figure 13.
5. Install the stepped pulley through the open-
ing in the bandsaw unit, directly below the
wheel pulley.
6. Thread one of the 5 ⁄
8
"-11 hex nuts onto the
stepped pulley shaft, followed by a 5 ⁄
8
" wash-
er. Place this assembly through the opening
in the bandsaw unit and secure with another
washer and hex nut from inside the bandsaw
unit. Leave the last hex nut loose enough
that you can still move the stepped pulley for
further adjustments.
