QuoteLots of times you can also hear the crack as it goes around, causing a rympthmic "shick" sound.  It's a "dead band walking" when you hear that, she's gonna blow.

If I hear the band breaking, I just keep on sawing until it breaks. Just like you said, there's no turning back once you hear that familiar sound.

If I hear a cracked blade, it comes off the mill immediately, no need to mess up the B-57's, or wasting time fishing the broken band out of who knows where.

Just sayin'.
