I certainly have never seen or even heard of this. That does not mean that it can't happen. It would be nice to see a video of this phenomenon to understand how it happens.

I would not lay this on Shopsmith. I am more inclined to believe that the user did this when uncoiling a blade that has been stored/packaged. I coil my blade saw blades when they are not mounted. It is not at all unusual to uncoil the blade and have it inside out.
OK, Dusty, how do you coil blades when they are "mounted"? I know you said unmounted but your statement assumes there is a way to do it mounted.
OKAY, in the way of clarification: Anytime that I dismount a band saw blade, I coil it for storage. I do not hang band saw blades any other way. I have kinked too many while hanging uncoiled.
If you store it coiled while uncoiling it you can cause, inadvertently, what we are talking about. The only other way for a blade to transition from right side out to inside out would be for it to be coiled backwards and that could certainly happen.
Fine but he does not explain how "occasionally" (his word) the teeth are reversed. What is the mechanism that allows this to happen? I guess with very large (long) BS blades this could be more prone but how and why.Skizzity wrote:https://youtu.be/CpCPbODq-VM
I would say the mechanism is operator error when uncoiling the blade.jsburger wrote:Fine but he does not explain how "occasionally" (his word) the teeth are reversed.
