Leave a Review Inkleind Bandsaw Tensioning
2nd Time’s a Charm
I couldn’t find my previous review where I gave it 1 star. So making a new review. Initially, after setting the parameters the indicator never moved from “Too Tight” no matter how much I loosened or tightened the tension. After a reply left on YouTube I moved the placement of the phone between the blade and the support beam. Don’t know why that should make a difference but it did. Suddenly I was “Too Loose” so I tightened. Did the test again and the indicator moved closer to the center. Gave it another tightening and suddenly I was “Too Tight”. Turned it back just a bit and I was right on. Works like a dream!

I purchased my bandsaw in the hopes that I could re-saw thicker pieces and maybe doing a bookmatch piece. It never worked no matter how I tightened the blade or adjusted the cut to account for drift. What I usually did was waste the excess away in the thickness planer. Re-sawing never worked for me until now. Amazingly enough I was finally able to re-saw some Zebrawood into 2 - 3’ x ¾” pieces with a minimum of surface work and absolutely no drift.Show lessSouthPaw-n-CA
Inkling Bandsaw Tensioning
It is a good idea, but it seems the creator of this app lost interest in it. Bandsaw sizes are missing and he don’t respond to messages about it.G-P-W
