I have a 14 inch Powermatic bandsaw with riser block, which is supposed to take 105 inch blades. Sometimes I have trouble getting the top wheel low enough to slip the blade on, but can usually gat it on. For some reason the Lenox Trimaster 3/8 inch, 3 tpi blade just will not go on the tires. Its like it's too short, even though it is in fact 105 like all my other blades.
Do these carbide tipped blades tend to be hard to install? Maybe they stretch less. Should i go longer than 105, and if so, how much longer? I have not called Lenox yet but plan to.
thanks
