Wheel straight cuts, and efficient cutting. The Model Shoulder G0592 features a blade tension indicator to assist you with blade tensioning. The three major signs of incorrect blade tension are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the wheels, and 2) the blade frequently breaks, and 3) the bandsaw does not make straight cuts.
The general rule of for blade tension. thumb is to have no fewer than three teeth in contact with the workpiece when starting a cut and at all times during cutting. -30- Model G0592 (Mfd. Since 01/23)
