BAHCO 3870-TENSION METER

Standard Features:

Having the correct blade tension on a bandsaw is crucial for performance, safety, and blade longevity. Here’s why:

  1. Accurate Cutting
  • Proper tension keeps the blade straight and stable, reducing blade drift.
  • Ensures cuts are clean, precise, and square, especially important for metal or fine woodworking.
  1. Blade Longevity
  • Over-tensioning can stretch or damage the blade, causing premature failure.
  • Under-tensioning leads to blade flutter and tooth breakage, wearing out the blade faster.
  1. Safety
  • A blade that is too loose can slip off the wheels or break, risking injury.
  • Correct tension reduces vibration, keeping operation safer for the user.
  1. Efficient Performance
  • Properly tensioned blades cut faster and smoother, reducing feed effort.
  • Minimizes heat build-up and reduces the chance of workpiece burning or scoring.
  1. Reduced Machine Wear
  • Incorrect tension stresses the wheels, bearings, and guides, increasing maintenance costs.
  • Maintains smoother operation and prolongs machine life.
