Hi, Everyone. Yes, I REALLY AM clueless.
About a week ago I purchased a HF 9-inch bandsaw. It says it takes a 62-inch blade. With the blade installed and all the adjustments maxed out, it appears the blade is still too loose.
Question: Can I install a 59-1/2" blade on this bandsaw? I see these listed all over the place. Is that the generally-recognized blade size for a 9" wheel (I warned you I was clueless). Did I put on th?
Also, while I have you, how do you know if your blade is too TIGHT? I see all kinds of articles on blades being too loose and the flutter test and all that, but when do you stop tightening?
Okay, I've given a mouthful. Appreciate your advice.
Scott
