First thing is i have not touched a band saw since jr. high and i'm 65. I bought a Skil band saw (not the best) and have broken a number of bands. Given my learning curve it has taken a few changes to get the hang of setting the tension.
My question is, is there any other reason for the bands to break at the weld? Other than the operator. Any hints you might make would be appreciated. The Saw is maybe two or three months old. Sorry the bands i have been using are 3/16 and 1/8.
THanks in advance for any help.
