I guess WM finally ran out of old stock gauges with the pressure ranges on them for each band thickness. Now everyone can upgrade their gauge and turn up the pressure without feeling like their bands are going to snap in half. ;) :D

Good.  Obviously blade metallurgy has vastly changed since the first blades were produced. 

Running dull blades, blade guide alignment, and trips around the bandwheels affects blade breakage much more than too much tension.
