Bandsaw Tension Gauge made of durable plastic. We have a constant stock of units! Bright signal colors – yellow or sparkling green (or Silver). Allows you to easily find the device if you accidentally left it somewhere in the workshop and do not remember where it is. Box for safe storage of the device. Three possible measuring scales of the device of your choice: kilograms, psi, combined kilograms + psi. When ordering, please write to us in addition to say what scale you want your device to be! Detachable housing for easy cleaning of the movable arm. Double bearing suspension on the movable arm! Guaranteed smooth and super precise measurement + long-term use without wear. Hardened and tapered clamping bolts. Guaranteeing light, precise measurement + long-term use. Greater distance between the gripping jaws! This guarantees a more accurate measurement compared to the mass of small similar measuring instruments. Housing specially designed to protect the indicator from impact or breakage when the appliance is inadvertently dropped to the ground. Large and intuitive to read color measuring scale of the indicator. Measuring scale with a full circle around the indicator, which allows much more accurate measurements, unlike indicators with a double scale divided in half. Detailed and clear instructions for work! Including specified tensile values for different types of blades and wood cutting machines (small, standard and solid size bandsaw machines) + additional table with tensile forces for metal-cutting machines. The device is used for precise measurement of tensile strength in bandsaw blades. It is used to measure the tensile strength that is generated inside the blade itself, which is much more precise and reliable than the devices that are mounted on some machines on the machine body itself. If you have a small bandsaw, please see the photo which shows the exact dimensions of the device and consider whether you can use it! The device is larger than the mass ones, so it achieves more accurate measurement, but it may not fit in some very small machines! Due to the nature of the alloy from which the bandsaw blades are made, it is possible to say that the desired and recommended tensile strength for all types of wood band saws is in the dark green scale of the indicator, about 1400 kg / cm2 (19500psi)! It does not matter if the saw is 40 cm. (15inch) wheels or with 1m. The tensile strength regardless of the width of the blade and the diameter of the wheels of the band saw is always the same per 1 / cm2 (1/in2) section of the blade itself! Very often in our work with the maintenance of wood processing plants we face the problem of highly overtightened blades of machines that crack and tear, because often workers can not sharpen the blades well. Poorly sharpened blades do not cut well and this leads to crooked cutting of the wood, to avoid this curving, the workers of the machines themselves start to tighten the blades additionally, overtighten them 2-3 times above the allowable! These poorly sharpened and heavily overtightened blades have a very short life of 2-3 days or a week or two before they are completely destroyed. The device has repeatedly shown and found machines with such overstretched straps. At the link below you can see a video showing the work with the force meter. In this video we are in a wood processing factory where they have a problem with the frequent cracking and tearing of blades on a large-massive band saw with a diameter of 1 meter on the wheels. The problem in this case is the wear of the working part of the wheels, the work of the blade becomes unstable – it goes back and forth continuously. To stabilize the blade in one place, workers tighten the blade further using an extension lever. Thus, in this case, they overstretch the blade twice above the permissible norm and this leads to frequent cracking and tearing of the band saw blades. The last part of the video shows the tension of the blade exactly to the required values?? With the help of the device. An additional option is to order the device with an indicator that does not have a combined scale of kg / cm2 and PSI but only in one scale. Only in kg / cm2 or only in PSI, depending on your preferences. For this purpose, after you have ordered the device, write to us to specify whether you want it to stay with a combined scale or be only in kilograms or pounds. We are a small family company from Bulgaria, which produces and repairs machines for wood processing enterprises. We insist on correctness and guarantee that you will get what is from the photos, tested and working. Each of the measuring instruments or our machine that we produce is entirely our development and we do not copy other similar ones! Each of our machines or appliances aims to be as strong and precise as possible in its design. We do not emphasize a beautiful shiny appearance! We emphasize strength, practicality and mechanically correct design and execution. Our motto and aspiration is that our machines are so strong and reliable that they are able to outlive their creator and continue to work flawlessly. We are proud of them. Please note that deliveries to different parts of the world have different deadlines! You can also look at our site to make sure we are not scammers. Our other useful appliances. Bandsaw Blade Tooth Set Checker Digital. Band Saw Alignment Gauge. Bandsaw Blade Protractor. Our site has a built-in google translator, in the upper right corner! On the site you can see machines and other appliances that we produce. Perhaps you will find it most interesting and useful in the several topics in which real problems are described and what to watch out for and how to deal with the problems. We have so much experience from all kinds of situations over the years that we no longer know whether to cry or laugh in some situations, that’s why the topics with problems and tips are described in a slightly humorous style, they will be useful and funny to you, guarantee. Important postscript: All of our appliances are entirely our own development, from start to finish! We care very much about the uniqueness of our appliances and machines and in no way copy the designs of similar ones from other manufacturers! We make sure to be fair to our competitors and NOT COPY or come close to their designs! It is important for us to be fair to people engaged in similar activities and we absolutely DO NOT SUPPORT and DO NOT APPROVE copying designs, and this has recently been observed a lot by various people, unfortunately. Support the people who are honest and conscientious producers and designers, don’t support the copycats. You also wouldn’t like it if someone copies your work off the shelf and offers it for less.
