Trip Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I think this is good for smaller blades... I would not try this technique with a 1 1/4" resaw blade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMarcel Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 That's how I coiled and uncoiled an 1.25" resaw blade (158" length). Well, 3 loops, not 5. For uncoiling, pull apart the 3 loops with a foot on the bottom loop; grab the middle loop with one hand, other hand does the 180º twists. Might be easier if you grew up with a Slinky.

Vic Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 That's the first way I learned. I prefer this method. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKXjLDQy9Yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well shoot, I can't be left out of the fun! These videos are all great but none of them feature super slo-mo sound effects! Skip to 3:35. http://blip.tv/play/AYvIJgI.x?p=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim0625 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Barry, I've seen a demo before on doing this but I'm with you....this is by far the best video I've seen too. Now, the two blades in MY shop hanging from the ceiling will get folded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim0625 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Dang Vic...that looks easy too. I laugh and also cringe now, but wayyyyyyy back when I was in college, I'd work summers in maintenance at the local Oneita Knitting Mill. One of the full time guys yells "TIM!!! put a new blade on the horizontal band saw." The new blades hung all folded neat on a peg. I'd grab one, take the tie wire off of it and throw it in the floor. It always unfolded and sorted itself out. Looking back, I'll bet the guys wanted to strangle me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CessnaPilotBarry Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I already know HOW to fold my 105" blades in three, but his 9" fold impressed me. No gloves, either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G S Haydon Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 That's the first way I learned. I prefer this method. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKXjLDQy9Yo 2:34 - That how I was taught, walk and roll your hands. Nice to see it demonstrated on big blades. Walk and roll your hands works just as well on really small blades, don't walk, only roll the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwacker Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 The video links are not showing up on my ipad. Is there a link to a easy method for 180.5 x 1.5 carbides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
