   Nov 9, 2012 · Beam strength, the blade’s ability to resist deflection, is achieved by combining several factors, including correct blade pitch, blade width, and precise guide settings. But a key factor in achieving beam strength is applying the maximum blade tension that the blade manufacturer recommends.

   How much does a bandsaw tension gauge cost?

   • There are bandsaw tension gauges that clamp to the blade and indicate on a dial directly what the tension is, but these are very expensive – on the order of $400. Fortunately, there’s a much cheaper way to determine the blade tension.

   What is a bandsaw adjustment gauge?

   • Bandsaw blade manufacturers specify the recommended tension range in psi for each blade they sell, but the bandsaw adjustment gauge indicates the force, in pounds, exerted by the spring when it’s compressed a specified amount. It’s thus necessary to convert from tension to force to determine the correct bandsaw setting.

   What psi should a bandsaw have?

   • Different blades require different tension levels. A tension range of 15,000-20,000 PSI is recommended for common carbon-steel blades, while bimetal, spring-steel, and carbide-tipped blades require a tension range of 25,000-30,000 PSI. Remember to use tension meters for accurate readings, as tension scales on bandsaws can be inaccurate.

   How much tension do bandsaw blades need?

   • Most blade manufacturers recommend 15,000 psi to 20,000 psi for a common carbon-steel blade. However, bimetal, spring-steel, and carbide-tipped blades are much stronger than carbon-steel blades, so manufacturers recommend a much higher tension: 25,000 psi to 30,000 psi. Why do bandsaw blades need so much tension? For beam strength.

   Why is bandsaw blade tension important?

   • Proper bandsaw blade tension is crucial for woodworking because it ensures blade stability, resulting in consistent cuts. When the bandsaw blade is tensioned correctly, it prevents premature wear and tear, prolonging its lifespan. The following are some key reasons I’ve found about blade tensioning:

   How do you set a bandsaw blade tension?

   • A tension meter is the most accurate way of setting the blade tension. If you own one of the many consumer bandsaws with a wheel diameter of 14 in. or less, then I would use a blade no wider than 1/2 in. for resawing and tension it until the tension spring is nearly compressed.

    In order to consistently produce straight and uniform cuts, bandsaw blades require tension. Before installing a bandsaw blade, the first thing to do is to put tension on the wheel to hold it firmly in place. This should be done each time a saw blade is replaced to insure accurate cuts.
