I managed to get the thing turned inside out, and it never occurred to
me to check the direction of the teeth while installing it. Come ON,
no blade could possibly be THAT dull!

Be careful out there. :-)


Why didn't you just turn the bandsaw around and feed from the other
side? :-)


That would be upside down, that kind of backwards. ;~)

The voice of experience, Leon? :-)


ROTFL almost, I noticed after mounting the blade but long before adjusting the
guides.

In my defense I'd removed the blade and coiled it up for cleaning (tossed the
blade in a round plastic tub, sprayed with oven cleaner, and scrubbed), so the
saw was already adjusted for that particular blade when I uncoiled and
reinstalled it. I really had no reason to think I couldn't just fire up the
saw and start cutting. :-)
