The method I use was posted on rec.crafts.metalworking.? First tou tighten the blade as much as you can with your hand, then you throw a shop rag on the tensioning knob and see how much tighter you

Thanks for explaining...? sounds realistic

Thanks Jim I know wood amd meat bandsaw blades come in a variety of other thicknesses down to at least 0.018" but I believe that 1/2" *metal *cutting ones are only in 0.025 & 0.035" If anyone has a

No I just picked someone elses thickness they were talking about earlier, as an example for the calculation. [cid:image003.png@...]Jim Klessig Senior Power Systems Engineer Phone +1

PSI of the blade cross sectional area. {Excluding the teeth} For a .022” thick blade of ?” width is .011 sq inches. For 17000 psi that is equivalent to 187 lbs hanging off each side of the

Now that is cool. In my opinion it's important to have enough tension but also not that critical. I think that there is a wide range of tension that will work well. Still, without any sort of

John, Excellent explanation. Thanks I had no idea they made a spoke gauge. "You stated the correct tension is higher than you might think" and I agree. It needs to have a lot of tension. The

II came across the method described in this post https://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?topic=1972.0 awhile ago, but haven't tried it yet myself, but if it works, it's a low cost method to

Hi all Tension of the blade IS important. It's got to be above the minimum, so the blade doesn't buckle under the weight of cutting and below the maximum where it cracks. The correct stress is

??? ??? So something between a G & a A .

I use a Craftsman 80" bandsaw at a job that is identical to one I own.? I replaced the blade (1/2") about a year ago, and it broke a few weeks ago making a straight cut.? Upon examination, I could

I tighten ‘em. A matter of ‘feel’ is all. No gizmos or hi-tech stuff, just a ‘yeah…..that’s good….that’ll do it’. And, I just check ‘em now & again, the same way. Other

I have been looking into a tool that can test blade tension.? ?I changed my saw blade tensioning so that I had a 3/8" NC stud with a nut and thrust washer for tightening the blade.? ?I would
