Up until now most tension assemblies featured a simple small knob attached to a threaded rod for tensioning and de-tensioning your bandsaw. Functional, but not easy or accurate. The Carter AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™ (Patent Pending) changes all that.
The Ratchet-Rod Kit replaces the original threaded rod and nut of the bandsaw with an ACME-threaded rod and nut, for easy rotation, and includes a contoured ratcheting knob for quick and comfortable rotation. Inside the knob is a ratchet mechanism with a tiny flip lever that reverses the drive direction just like a socket wrench. Once the rod and nut are installed, tightening or loosening your blade is quick and easy.
