Can I save my bandsaw blade?
I had the feed set a little too high on my bandsaw. Next thing I know
the blade jumped off the wheel. It looks a little wiggly in one area (the blade is kinda S shaped from side to side). Is there any way to save it? The teeth all appear fine, its just the "wiggly" part catches on the guide bearings and pops the blade back off the wheel. Its an expensive starrett bi-metal blade and I would really like to save it if possible. |

I ordered a replacement before posting anyways. I was just keeping my fingers crossed just in case. Thanks for the replys, I'll try the lead hammer thing (I think I kept one from my dads garage sale). Thank god McMaster will deliver by noon tomorrow if my previous orders are any metric to go by. |

You'll have to punch the holes at the ends though, too hard to drill. I have so many right now I hand them out to my customers as gifts! The vari-pitch are especially popular.......heh heh .......;) phil -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

They make real nice BOW saw blades also. Normally wood blades, but sometimes
large things need cutting or those that have a large what-ever in the way. Also nice on the tough hard woods that sometimes have wood blades skate on. Martin Martin H.
