Bandsaw Blade Tension Monitor
Anyone with a bandsaw-type sawmill might be interested in my Bandsaw Blade Tension Monitor. It consists of a spring and a segment of measuring tape. You read the tape where it sticks out of the spring. It lets you check the relative tension of a blade and tell at a glance if a blade needs to be tightened or if it should be replaced. It simply hooks temporarily over the blade so if you marked where it was when you installed the blade, you can monitor it.
  I sell this monitor for $26 U.S. postpaid. (Milo Rifenberg, HC 37, Box 51C, Frankford, W.Va., 24938 ph 304 497-3224)
