Bandsaw, Dust Collector and stuff #4: Two Adjustments and a Big Improvement
After receiving several recommendations and hints; thanks guys, I adjusted the tension setting on the bandsaw for a 1/2 inch, since that is the size of the blade in saw. Remember that the blade was so tight to go on that I could not use the quick release handle, the blade was already to tight. I was worried about adding any more tension using the tension adjustment knob on my first try using the new blade. Today, after using the tension knob on top of the bandsaw, I tried resawing the Bubinga board again, this time I also slowed down my feed rate. The results were like night and day. The upper piece is when I had no tension on the blade, the bottom piece is with the slow feed rate ...
