Have you ever had the tape fail and have that coiled blade spring out?
No. Even if the tape breaks, the blade won’t necessarily uncoil. Normally you will have to flex the blade a bit to start it uncoiling.
Does the tape reside affect the blade when it’s back in operation? Should we use some type cleaner to make sure the masking tape is completely remove?
Hi, Dennis. If your tape leaves some residue, then you should clean it off. The residue could bind in the work piece or get on your tires.
I watched several coiling videos on youtube, but I think this is the best way. Unfortunately the video quality is too bad.
Hello George,
how about direction of teeth and wear gloves and use 3/4 in. Mini Spring Clamps from box store HD instead of tape?
Thanks for all ya do.
You can also do the coiling a second time on longer blades which will give you 5 coils instead of the 3.
How easy was that? Great tip!
I like to use a twist tie instead of tape to store my folded blades – easy to apply/remove and no residue.
I was reading a story about logging and the mills taking the logs for sawing into lumber. They told of a mill in the Pacific NW that had one of the big industrial blades get loose and go bounding around the mill. When it came to rest they just concreted it in place and left it there.
