Title: New blade wont stay on.
Post by: Kwill on February 13, 2019, 08:25:05 PM
I put a new woodmizer blade on today and it wont stay on . anyone ever had that problem. I put the old blade back on thst i sharpened myself and it stays on just fine. I took the new one off and put it back on several times with the same results. Just wonder if anyone had this issue.

You could try putting a long (three or four foot) straightedge along the back of the band at the weld and see if the band was welded straight.
