Hello,
I am looking for some help with some basic bandsaw knowledge. Specifically, properly tensioning the blade. I do not have any experience setting up a saw. My experience is limited to using a bandsaw after it has been in operation and set up by someone else. I took the plunge and purchased a Minimax MM16. The instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired. Additionally, the gauge that is attached is supposed to give you a guide as to proper tensioning but I believe it is of little use. I am attempting to properly tension a 1/2" blade and could use some advice. Thanks, Jack
