A serious question:

Could an instrument tuner be used as a method of
accurately tensioning the bandsaw blade?

I cut a 3/4" wide X 6" long piece of polycarbonate in the left-hand
Side of the door.
If it's just barely flutterin', turn the crank up a bit and yer there.
From 1/8" to 2", never a problem :-)
