Q. I don't know what blade length I require, is there a way of working this out?
A. Yes there is, for two wheel bandsaws the following procedure can be followed:

  1. Adjust the wheels to their correct position (about the middle of the adjustment range)
  2. Referring to the diagram below, measure the distance between the center point of each wheel. (measurement D)
  3. Now measure the radius of each wheel. (R1 and R2)
  4. Use this formula to calculate the band length from the measurements you have taken:
    Band length = (R1 x 3.1416) + (R2 x 3.1416) + (2 x D)

Ensure the wheels are not adjusted to their extremes, you need to allow for take-up to tension the band and also for possible future blade re-welding. Around the middle of the adjustment range is best.
