Thanks. I drilled a relief hole to give room for the teeth set.
While I’m letting glue dry I thought I’d run some other numbers on the spring force required, but I’m starting to confuse myself a little. Maybe someone can check me on this…
The blade I have on...
I’m throwing a gauge together right now. I think I can clamp the blade on the frame side close to the wheels, and get a gauge length of 18” instead of 6” or less on the cutting side. If I’m doing the...
Assuming your bandsaw gauge is similar to mine (measuring spring compression), it isn’t really measuring tension, it’s measuring the force that is applied to the blade. Tension is actually pounds per...
Thaks John, good input.
I like your design. I’ve got a dial indicator that I can use for this, maybe after the holidays…
I’m curious, John, what PSI values you think might be good for 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2” blades on a 14...
I picked up an EZtension a while back and played with it some (14” Jet). It always felt like I had to crank the tension up higher than I anticipated, and I was getting decent results at lower tension...
