1/8th inch bandsaw blade..

Ah shucks. One time I was using the bandsaw & had to take a break. Well, someone played a 'joke' on me & turned the speed control to high. I never checked when I went back to finishing what I was doing and before I could shut it off, the bandsaw blade shot across the room and one or both of the tires were ruined....
Somebody could of been hurt; it happened so fast; I couldn't get any words out... Someone was laughing, but I failed to see the humor. But lesson learned: always check the speed.

That could lead to an accident. A costly lesson to learn. Nice thoughts, always check the speed

The best blades for me are blades from this site: http://www.sawblade.com. They last longer than any other blade I had.
