another bandsaw question

<< < (2/3) > >>

MattE:
check the tension on the blade, check to see if the belt is slipping,see if the pully key has fell out,and use the right blade, a skip tooth blade will work very well. One of these is probably your problem

duffontap:
A fresh 1/2" to 3/4" skip-tooth blade with 2-4 teeth per inch (a resawing blade) will mow through wood on that saw.  With such a blade you would love your bandsaw again.

Must buy bandsaw....Need bandsaw!!!!!  ;D

billmac:
I'm using a 1/2" 4 tpi skip tooth blade.  3/4 HP, 15 amp motor.  The tension seems fine.  Belt is not slipping.   I saw a 3 tpi hook tooth blade at the store today.  I may try that.

Justin Snyder:
If she is bogging down try 6 TPI.  Justin
