ABSTRACT:
A portable tensiometer for use in indicating a desirable level of tension in an endless band saw blade, the tension in that blade being adjustable by a separate tension device not connected with the tensiometer. The tensiometer includes first and second arms pivotally connected one with the other. Adjacent ends of the two arms are structured to receive the band saw blade and a portion of the saw's housing in seated relation to prevent significant slipping of the tensiometer in a path transverse to the normal travel path of the saw blade while the blade tension is being monitored. A spring connects the two arms so that the band saw blade is biased toward that portion of the saw's housing on which the tensiometer is seated during use of the tensiometer. A scale carried by one of the arms cooperates with an indicator carried by the other of the arms to inform the user when the desired tension on the band saw blade has been achieved.
