you were given a warning by yours ears , next time pay heed to them , and you might have saved the band.

 

 

Not always the case

"not always the case "- being able to save the band?

or "not always the case" that the band doesn't give the game away when its about to let go?

 

Just curious.?

Bands can just snap at random some times without any warning. Just a case of getting used to your own machine and you will spot the signs

ok, 

Random snapping does not occur with the 4"bands I use, there is always an audible , as well as a possible visual oscillation of the band, warning  of impending doom enabling you to stop cutting and change.

The signs do start to appear when the band is getting blunt ie much more effort to push through, poor or wavy cut and a totally different tone, saying that I’ve had one let go for no reason and with no warning. Torque setting was good band was tracking fine when checked after fitting it ?‍♂️. 4” bands are in a  different ball park compared to the ones used on a WM130, I can only imagine the noise when one of those fails.
