SECTION 3 OVERVIEW
3.1 Toothsetter Introduction
There are four steps to maintaining blades used on the Wood-Mizer sawmill. They should
ALWAYS be followed in this order:
1. Blade Cleaning
2. Sharpening
3. Deburring
4. Toothsetting
See Figure 3-1. The blades supplied by Wood-Mizer have a raker-style set in the teeth.
If you look at a blade from the top, you will see that the teeth are set (or bent out) in
a repeating sequence; straight, left and right. The teeth that are set left and right do the
cutting. The straight teeth (rakers) clear the cut of sawdust.
See Figure 3-2. As the blade is sharpened, the tip of the tooth recedes and the set
becomes smaller. Correct setting is one of the most important factors in the cutting ability
of a blade. Check used blades regularly to see if they need resetting.

Overview
Deburring The Blade
3
3-2 BMT150doc061818 Overview
3.2 Deburring The Blade
Sharpening leaves tiny metal burrs on the back side of the teeth. New blades also have
burrs. These burrs MUST be removed before the set is checked. If they are not removed,
they may cause the toothsetter to give false readings.
To remove burrs, take the blade from the Sharpener. Invert it, so that the inside of the
blade is facing out. Drag a stick of hardwood across the blade in the opposite direction
that the teeth cut. (Use the weld in the blade as a reference point for starting and
stopping.)
Cutting with the blade also removes burrs. If the blade you are about to set has been
used after sharpening, you will not need to deburr it. Clean the blade before removing
from the mill by running the Water Lube Option for 15 seconds. Remove the blade and
wipe dry with a rag to prevent rusting.

SECTION 4 SETUP
4.1 Toothsetter Mount
Place the setter on a table or workbench sturdy enough to support the weight of the
machine. Be sure there is enough room on either side of the setter to allow for the blade
to travel. If desired, the unit can be bolted to the table through the holes provided in the
bottom of the base frame.
4.2 Blade Support Installation
Install the threaded blade arm mounting blocks (1) to the toothsetter. Attach the three
blade support arms (2) to the mounting blocks.
See Figure 4-1.

4-2 BMT150doc061818 Setup
See Figure 4-2. Assemble a blade support guide onto the end of each blade support arm.
Bolt from the hexed side of the guide assembly. Tighten the top bolts with the self-locking
nuts. Tighten the bottom bolts with the wing nuts.
The guides should be about 1" (2.5 cm) from the ends of the right and rear tubes and
about 2.5" (6.0 cm) from the end of the left tube. Final adjustments will be made later.

4.3 Gauge Calibration
The tooth set gauge accurately measures the set of any blade tooth. The gauge needs to
be assembled and calibrated before use.
See Figure 4-3. Insert the dial gauge assembly into the hole in the block housing. Clamp
the calibrating pin in position at the center of the dial gauge foot. Push the gauge
assembly forward until the foot just touches the pin and dial needle moves .005 to .010.
Tighten the locking screw with the provided hex wrench (do not over-tighten). Loosen the
dial lock on the gauge and rotate the dial face until the needle reads zero. Tighten the dial
lock.
Unclamp the calibrating pin from the set master gauge clamp by turning the clamp knob
counterclockwise. With the pin not clamped, the set master gauge needle should read
between -.005 and -.010. If not, reclamp the pin, loosen the locking screw and move the
set master gauge assembly back so the foot does not contact the pin. Repeat the steps
above until the dial needle reads zero with the calibrating pin clamped and between -.005
and -.010 without the pin clamped. This ensures the dial foot extends beyond the clamp
plate a slight amount and will read zero when the foot is aligned with the clamp plate.

SECTION 5 OPERATION
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when
handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when
done by one person! Keep all other persons away from
area when coiling, carrying or changing a blade. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury.
Once the toothsetter alignments have been checked and adjustments have been made,
you are ready to measure and set blades.
Sharpening removes metal from the face of the tooth. This eventually reduces the set to a
point where the blade will not cut very well. Set should not vary more than (±)0.002 from
one tooth to the next and (±)0.002 from one side of the blade to the other side.
The following steps will take you through operation of the toothsetter.
Note: Refer to theWood-Mizer®Blade Handbook for recommended set specifications for
your sawing application.
5.1 Blade Installation
1. Clean the blade and deburr before putting it in the toothsetter. Otherwise, sap
buildup on the blade or tooth will give false set readings. Metal burrs created by
sharpening also will cause false readings.
Mount the blade in the toothsetter. Place blade between the clamping plates and on
the three guide assemblies.
