Inca Bandsaw Manual

I have an Inca 710 as well as the 10 inch bandsaw and suggest you contact the INCA forum by sending an email to: incawoodworking@yahoogroups.com If there is a riser block available, one of them will have it. Doebeli in Zurich, Switzerland has the full stock of Inca. User Manual: Opens this document in a PDF reader. Function Index: Opens an HTML file with links to help documentation on all INCA functions. This is a useful reference guide when calling INCA functions directly from the MATLAB command line or for developing custom scripts that invoke INCA function calls. Download imovie 10.1.6.

INCA Bandsaws (342.xxx.xx)

Aug 28, 2020 You are expected to have read through this method and the manufacturers manual for the bandsaw. You must wear eye protection. The gloves you are going to wear are more for the ice cores protection and are loose. Use a push stick to move the core through the blade as your fingers get within a few inches.

How to make sense of the model numbers

• The official INCA numbering system. ex: '343.132.01'
• A shorter numbering system for the US (and North American) market. ex '410'. (This system may have been established by 'Garrett Wade' the US importer)
• An early discarded numbering system. ex: 'AF 134'. (This system might be that of Injecta AG's Teufental. It can also be seen found on toy trains, etc made by the company)

• The first is a number shared by all machines of the same family. ex '341.xx.xx' is for table-saws.
• The second part is the base machine number, ex '341.017.xx' is for the 'Universal Table-Saw'.
• The third is a type number for different versions or configurations of the same base machine. ex '341.017.09' is the 'Universal Table-Saw, with the small table of 420x340mm'.

When I was first examining the guides on my saw, I noticed that they were unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Actually, they seemed to be a mismatched set.

The guides on my saw are the type that have an asymmetrical pair on each the top and bottom, with one coming from the left, perpendicular to the blade, and the other coming from the right at a 45-degree angle.

I have seen this configuration before, but what was new here was that the perpendicular guide was a small wheel, with a groove on the outer circumference that the back of the blade would ride in; and the 45-degree steel guide wasn't touching the blade at all.

After digging through the manual, I found that this wheel guide was the 'fretwork guide', meant to support the back of a blade too narrow to be held by the steel guides. This meant that I was missing the horizontal steel guides that I would need for a regular (3/8″-1/2″) blade.

I started looking online for information about Cool Blocks and ceramic guides, having heard that these were the best for guiding the blade and keeping it from overheating due to the friction of the guides rubbing against the blade, however, being a relatively rare European saw, I would have to order custom blocks, which would be tedious and expensive.

Inca Bandsaw Manual 2020

I am a regular reader of woodgears.ca, and had seen an article regarding using hardwood blocks as guides. This seemed cheap, easy, and reversible, so I thought it would make a worthwhile experiment.

Wanting to do a little more research on this concept and general bandsaw theory, I bought The Bandsaw Book and found a couple interesting facts: 1.) Wooden guides can provide excellent support for the blade, although they wear out quickly; and 2.) Steel guides do NOT cause blades to overheat (the wood being cut generates far more heat, and the guides are only making contact with a very small portion of the blade).

Armed with the confidence that I could do no harm; I cut out a set of guides from some white oak I had laying around, saturated them with Johnson's Paste Wax, and tested the cut.

Inca Bandsaw Blades

It was terrible! The blade immediately started cutting at what must have been 20-degrees from parallel to the table.

I started to worry about whether the guides would work, but then I remembered: I'm using a saw with chewed up tires and the cheapest Craftsman blade that fits, I should probably address those problems before I start trying to fine-tune the cut.
