Metal Bandsaw Problem

rdenning
18 years ago

Hi,

I have a small Craftsman 10 inch bansaw with variable speed setting on it. I got the proper blade to cut metal (14 teeth per inch I believe) ... the problem is, when I try to cut metal (1/16" thick), the motor keeps shutting down. Why would this be? I have the speed set to the proper speed for metal (around 300 or so), and I am lubbing it with WD-40. I am feeding it quite slow as well.

Any ideas?

Thank you for any input!
