Startrite 18V10 Blade Tension Indicator Access - How the heck do you?
vtsteam:
Around my 14 year old I've learned that the word "thing" is a universal specific for needless description. Thus the explanation to any query I make, "It's a thing."
Repeated more loudly if I seem confused.
"Springy thing"?- I mean that's a LOT of detail, where I come from.

Well I never did find any way into the relevant bit of the band saw, well all manner of tapping with a big rubber hammer did nothing. So I poked an endoscope camera up next to the tensioning knob and sure enough the indicating thing was standing upright at 90 degrees to where it should be. Poking about with a bit of 1.6 mm gas welding rod bent into a hook eventually got it back in place.

That is typical of British machinery design, a drilled hole and a roll pin would have limited the travel of the indicator.
Hundreds of people have probably encountered the same problem.

In fairness I’ve had it for 25 years and it’s only happened this once !

Andrew, just a query, is your 18v10 on the Startrite steel block blade guides or is it on the ballraces?
