Extra Hands When Changing a Bandsaw Blade
Jul 18, 2012
When I change a blade on my bandsaw, it’s like wrestling snakes. I always need one more hand than I have. So I bought two small clamps and use them to hold the blade on the top wheel while I maneuver it between the guides and around the lower wheel. This simple tip has cut my blade-changing time by two thirds.
