What is the actual blade tension on a bandsaw sawmill?
Timberking recommends 1,100 pis on the gauge of the sawmill. My testing shows that equates to ~15,000 psi on the blade. Most blade manufacturers recommend 15,000 psi to 20,000 psi for a common carbon-steel blade. So we are on the conservative side of tension on the blade. The next video talking about blade tension will show what that equates to on other sawmills.
