I always release the tension on my bandsaw at the end of a day of use. The other night I was cleaning up after a good weekend session, and when I went to release the bandsaw tension, I noticed it felt 'funny'. Closer inspection revealed severe cracking in the tensioning block. I'm glad it didn't let go while I was using it! There might have been flying parts, sparking blades and a frightened operator!
I called Grizzly Monday morning and ordered a replacement part, which should be here by the end of the week. Hope the new one lasts longer than the old one (about 6 or 7 years, I think)
