Thread: Flashing adverts on Forum
25/10/2009 16:08:58
Thank you John Ladlow.
 
I did what you suggested and it is like a different web site; I could not put up with the flashing adverts for more than a minute or so, now I can read everything at leisure.
 
Yes, I agree that the adverts are probably a good thing for the magazines' income but I cannot believe that making them more readable and less annoying is going to reduce their effectiveness.
 
Thanks again

Thread: Band saw blade comming off pulley
20/05/2009 17:49:07
Thank you Richmond, Billy and John.
 
I have spoken to Chester who tried to help but basically said it was a matter of trial and error. As far as I can tell the wheels are running truly but I did not think of altering the cutting pressure which I shall try.
 
My usual reaction is to increase the blade tension as much as possible then slacken it slightly and this cures the problem - until the next time it comes off. My manual gives the following instruction for blade tension:
 
Make sure the motor is shut off. Press the blade lightly with the left hand, make the rear blade against the flange of blade wheel and feel the blade tension that the blade does not come off the wheel. Adjust the blade tension adjustable knob with the right hand until the blade obtains the proper tension.
 
If anyone has a better description, preferably with some figures in, I'd be delighted to read it.
 
Thank you again for your help

I have a Chester HV 128 band saw which is very useful and usually well behaved but sometimes the blade jumps off the pulley for no apparent reason. After replacing the blade several times and altering the tension etc everything returns to normal for a few more weeks, then off it comes again.  The manual is of little help with advice like 'Adjust tension until it is correct'. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong, or why the blade jumps off the drive wheel.
