How do you tension a circular saw blade?Circular Saw Tension - Saw Blades

The tension and flatness of the blade are important in providing a consistent cut.The quality of your final product depends on a flat blade.It assures that the blades will run at operating speeds without wobbling if you flatten and tension them.

This guide will help you understand the steps we use to flatten your knives and blades, as well as our post-flattening inspection process.Every blade undergoes a strict flattening and inspection process for the highest quality and longevity.

Without the proper flattening techniques, everyday wear and tear can cause saw blades to wave and bend.The equipment used to make our blades ensures proper flatness.A precision flattening machine is used to flatten out any inconsistencies in the blade, while final touches are performed by hand with a precision hammer.

We use equipment designed for our industry to determine whether a blade needs to be flattened.The extent of problem sites and whether the saw is running on the center line are shown by the equipment.

After we have determined that the blade needs corrective action, our state-of-the-art equipment levels and checks for proper tension.We use an anvil and a handmade hammer to perform the final touches on problem sites, keeping in mind that the hammer should have a soft, round striking surface to avoid shortening the service life of the blade.

Different hammer sizes and amounts of force can affect the final product when hitting a saw blade with a hammer.We are always aware of how far the material needs to be stretched before the project begins.

Different face grind configurations like Dog Head and Twist are used to bring blades flat.
