when distance between upper<br />
and lower guides is set at 6" or<br />
less. Because each person’s<br />
definition of moderate pressure<br />
varies you may wish to borrow or<br />
purchase a tension indicator.<br />
If using some of the so<br />
called “lower tension” blades, it is<br />
strongly suggested that the<br />
manufacturer’s instructions be<br />
followed. A few suppliers are<br />
listed in the sources section.<br />
Carbide, Bi Metal, Stellite and Carbon steel blades require different<br />
amounts of tension ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 psi.<br />
Once you find the proper tension for the blade(s) you use you can create your<br />
own indicator marks lines for repeatability. A good recommendation is to use<br />
different colored markers and color code the different blade widths.<br />
TRACKING<br />
You can not track a blade until the proper tension has been set! Pay careful<br />
attention to the preceding section on proper tensioning of the blade. The width<br />
of the blade dictates where it should run on the tire.<br />
A rule of thumb suggests that anything over a ½” blade should have the teeth<br />
slightly over hang the tire. This is to prevent premature wearing of the tires.<br />
Smaller bl run as close to the center of the wheel as possible. This is to<br />
