Alpha HW615/Ambassador C14 Band Saws: Belt Tensioning and Replacement

Created by Gabriel Izzo, Modified on Mon, 7 Apr at 10:41 AM by Gabriel Izzo


The belt tension should be checked when the band saw is new and periodically, as a new belt may stretch slightly during the breaking-in process and require adjustment. If the belt becomes worn, cracked, frayed, or glazed, it should be replaced.


Here is a video of the belt replacement process which demonstrates the removal of lower wheel, re-installation, and tensioning of the belt.
