I will continue asking on YouTube, to see if somebody can verify the
idea a 1/2" wide 32 7/8" bandsaw blade can be flipped (without
damage).

Talk is cheap...

I just got a Dewalt bandsaw blade from Amazon Inc for my small Dewalt
portable bandsaw. The teeth are freaking reversed. The blade is only 32-
7/8"and 1/2" wide, so I doubt there is any way to flip it.

Am I missing something? Or that just happens sometimes?


You're missing the point that John Doe is an idiot that can't think
his way out of a paper bag .

I just tried (barehanded) with my 44-7/8" x 1/2" portaband blade...Took maybe 1.25 seconds to flip it, and about the same to flip it back...While the shorter blade might be a little more difficult, it seems far from insurmountable.
