Excision Bandsaw Blade Tension Meter

Product overview

About this machine.

Correct band tension is vital to ensuring cut straightness. The Excision tension gauge quickly & simply measures the exact blade tension while it is mounted on the band wheels of the saw. An optimum tension of 300N/mm2 is recommended for RONTGEN bi-metal blades with 4% chrome backing strip. This will help to avoid off-square cutting through low tension and blade breakage and machine damage through excessively high tension.

Calibrating your bandsaw blade tension with ease & precision, will you optimal blade life whilst not putting your machine at risk of long term damage due to over tensioning.

The tension meter is designed for blades from 6mm to 80mm depth & thickness of 0.5mm to 1.6mm.

The tension meter is very easy to use, simply attach to bandsaw blade (whilst no tension is applied), set gauge to zero then start applying tension & watch the gauge until the correct tension is applied.
