I also have a Delta 14" bandsaw. Actually, it's old enough now--upwards of 40 years--that I think it's labeled "Rockwell." But it's the same saw. I have yet to lower the band tension between uses. I suppose someday something horrible might happen as a result but I've seen no ill effects as yet. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com Phone 360.736.7563 -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of James Grebe Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:58 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Band saw question Yes you should though most people like I do not.
