Cause I am to tough... ;!) I don't use a glove,,, but I did when I used
the shorter blades. The longer blades seem to just fold up in place
with out really thinking about it.

I watched a kid fold up a BS mill blade and was shocked how easy it was,
and no gloves..

I use something like that, except use two hands: step on blade, hold
both hands out from sides, palms away from you (the "what, me?" pose),
then grab in both hands, turn palms towards you while bringing your hands
together.

With a longer blade you don't enven have to anchor the bottom, my 2 hands
are the only thing touching the blade.




Can I use that as justification with swmbo? "but honey, with this bigger,
better, badder bandsaw, folding the blades is so much easier and safer!"

I'll let you know how it goes. ;-)
