Used Band Is “Short” On The Tooth Edge

“Short” on the tooth edge is a term used to describe the straightness of the band. The teeth are on the inside of the arc when the strip is lying on a flat surface.

Probable Cause :

1. Side guides are too tight – rubbing near back edge.
2. Worn band wheels causing uneven tension.
3. Guide arms are spread too far apart.
4. Excessive feeding rate. (Learn More)
