Correct band tension is vital to ensure cut straightness.
The RI.F.STAHL tension meter quickly and simply measures the exact blade tension while it is mounted on the band wheels.
An optimal tension of 300 N/mm² is reccommended for RI.F.STAHL bi-metal blades.
This will help to avoid off-square cutting through low tension or blade breakage and machine damage through excessively high tension.
