I put on my TW 111" 3/4" blade and got all my rollers setup where I want them.

I tension the blade and then I'm as loose as I can go but the knob on top is tight. Shouldn't turning the knob on top to loosen the tension get looser? Mine gets tighter. It actually gets looser when I tighten the knob.

Makes no sense.

When I tension it up, I can hear the blade kind of pop tight, it sounds awful and I'm not getting the deflection out of it like I should, it's tight and stiff.

I should check the size. I'm assuming they gave me a 111" maybe it's smaller.

Don't know where to go from here.... any advice from other Rikon BS users?
