Until someone has a statistically meaningful number (maybe 100) of identical band saws all doing similar work, with the tension let down on the same 50 every night, keeping track of blade usage and machine repairs as the operators rotate among them for twenty years or so, it's pot luck. Even with reasonable evidence, there will be plenty of stories to the contrary. Letting the tension down does, however, keep elephants out of the trees. Ron N
