Folding a BS blade
I hang it from an upturned hand and let it touch the floor. Step on it
with your toes (in a boot of course). Close your fist (in a glove of course) and twist and lower and get the same effect. Of course I always have to try it two or three times before I remember the exact flow.

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. Unfolding is easy. walk out front and throw it in the grass. never fails. |

Folding a BS blade
On Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:23:11 -0600, the infamous "Leon"
scrawled the following: "Doug Miller" wrote in message ... In article , "Leon" wrote: 150" blades take up space I don't have and I have about 8 of them.... Coilded up they set on top of my upper wall cabinets. Nice drive-by, Leon. g Geeees,,, that is the second this week I think..... and I was not even looking for that kind of attention. LOL At least he didn't say "8 of the 150" -=carbide=- bandsaw blades", huh? -- What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient, but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, of uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully. -- Charles Victor Cherbuliez |

With a longer blade you don't enven have to anchor the bottom, my 2 hands are the only thing touching the blade. Unfolding is easy. walk out front and throw it in the grass. never fails. Well, again, I tried that when I first got my 150" blades and tossed them out in the yard a dozen times, nothing. With mine I have to uncoil them by hand but again it is very simple and with out any excitement. |

"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. ;-) |
