My new bandsaw (an 18" Jet) has a blade tensionong indicator that you
can
read on the inside and the outside of the upper wheel housing. It would
be
a
nice feature - if the two scales agreed with each other.

In that regard, and having recently scored a bandsaw blade tension meter
from Iturra, if you own a large bandsaw that can utilize larger blades and
don't want to buy one, it is well worth borrowing one just to see how far
off these tack on "tension indicators" can be.

Thanks for that I had no idea there was such a beast.
