ABSTRACT:
A combined tensioning and tracking assembly is provided for use with band saw tools. A continuous saw band is supported by three spaced-apart pulleys. A bar, supporting one of the pulleys, is mounted for sliding and tilting movement, with the sliding movement providing adjustment in the tension of the saw band, and the tilting movement providing adjustment in the "tracking" of the saw band. The sliding movement of the bar is accomplished through an overcenter arrangement which tensions and releases the saw band. The bar, over center arrangement, and structure for achieving sliding and tilting movement of the bar, are all attached to a bracket which is mounted on the frame of the band saw tool.
