Or you can assume Lumber Jocks don't talk about it.

I respect you, and I am sure on LJ if some one had that problem they would have posted it, BUT in the last few months I have seen that here. By different posters, I even questioned it, when JPG or John B explained it, how it happens and how to fix it.

That thread was posted in Jan of 2010, 6 plus years ago. I guess you can find anything with a search.

You guys are the best! Sure enough, I took the blade off this morning, did the recommended twisting and Ta-Da! the pointy bits are now going the right way and it cuts smoothly!

I had no idea you could do that to a blade and in over a decade of having my SS, I've never had it happen before.

Just shows that there is always something to learn!

Thanks to all!

When I got my SS bandsaw, I hadn't used a bandsaw since 8th grade shop class. I installed the blade and had great difficulty cutting through aluminum threshhold. It also made a helluva racket. Only afterward I noticed the teeth were pointing the wrong way. I had to laugh.

I have seen the same thing with people putting the chain on backwards on a chainsaw

Does that make fallen trees stand back up?

This rates right up there as dumb things one can do. This is not to say I haven't done it also. It's simple to fix without twisting the blade which is just as dumb. Just rotate 180 and flip the blade 180.

Well I'll be.

That actually works!!!!!!

So it is all about how you pick it up to begin with.


Nay folks, that is not so!!! Let myself get led astray here.

It seemed simple to me. I was wondering if I was wrong though cuz nobody said anything about it. I checked the inside and outside of my blade and was, "huh?".
