When it was time to replace my lennox blade, I thought I would give this company a try.? I've seen them advertise in some of the shows I watch and like their story.? (Made in USA.)? Anyway, I ordered what I thought would be the closest blade possible to what I normally use and the price was right.? I typically use a 10-14tpi bi-metal.? It arrived in 2 days I believe.? Anyway, my first 2 cuts on this were AWFUL.? Maybe 10 times longer than I would expect.? I even stopped cutting to see if something was keeping the saw from lowering.? I have yet to cut anything else but has anyone else used blades from them with success? I am NOT bagging on the company.? I WANT it to be a good blade and use them forever!? Here is what I ordered:??

Well....since I now am unsure....that is a GREAT question.? I am not the smartest guy in the room, but doesn't it only go on one way?? (Can't figure out without looking at it how to put it on any different, so now I am guessing there are 2 different orientations.)? Anyway, I actually used their little selector tool for my saw and this was the suggest blade.? It runs just like the other billion 4x6 saws out there.? I will walk out later and take a look.? thanks!? Kris ? ?

开云体育Sometimes they get flipped inside out. I’ve not had that problem with any made by Lennox, Irwin, or Starrett, but have with a few lower priced creampuffs from Grizzly, and the Amazonians. Can be the result of how you unwrap it/unroll it. If it’s not running the right way, easy enough to remove it, and give it a flip inside out. ? Bill ? From: 4x6bandsaw@... [mailto:4x6bandsaw@...]

I'm not an expert on this, maybe someone else can offer a more authoritative opinion. But I'm under the impression that the backwards motion on a sawblade is harder on its cutting edges, since the material tends to round over the edge rather than get cut by it. That would suggest your current blade may not last as long because you ran it backwards a while.? It might be good to wait on forming an opinion of the blade's quality until your next blade from this company. On Wed, Dec 19, 2018 at 3:52 PM Ralph Hulslander rhulslander@...

开云体育?The cutting teeth need
to "lean forward into" the direction they are going in order to
cut properly. ?If the bandsaw blade
was flipped inside out and installed that way, the teeth will
end up leaning back / pointing away from direction of travel -
the opposite of the image above, pointing up instead of down -
and not cut worth a damn, as you found out the hard way.

开云体育Don't feel bad.? One time I had my chainsaw serviced by the dealer.? When I took it out to do some trimming, it was cutting horribly.? So bad that I commented to myself that it was bad enough that it might as well be cutting backward.? Yep!? Sure enough, the shop had installed the chain backward! If you rotate your bandsaw blade 180 degrees into the loop and
install it, it will be cutting backward.? Ken On 12/19/18 4:39 PM,
