My birthday is coming. My usual gift to me is some sort of tool
that I need but haven't bought yet. I am thinking of a bandsaw tension
gauge.

The Iturra folks have one for $150. All others are way above that.

So... what should I buy? Or do I really need one?

Go for gold, Get a Laguna HD series band saw, it has the tension gauge
built in. And those saws will make you look at a band saw in an entirely
different way.


I used to use one at work that would cut a strait line (no kerf
deflection) in 7 inch thick titanium. After that, every other bandsaw
seems kind of wimpy.

Exactly, but wait till you se one cut through 7 inches of "Diamond".
