Lumber mate blade tension

I read the book a long time ago and i think you wind it to the max mark and then back it off a full turn, it looks about the same as where i have mine.

 

Does anyone still use diesel to lube with ? we used to on the Stenner years ago, i'm using water and iv'e just got some new blades(Ripper 37s) and after a while crap builds up on the band slowing the cut right up untill i scrape it off, iv'e adjusted the fiber cleaner thing and its a lot better,just thought diesel might be better, or am i using too much or not enough water.

nah i wouldnt use diesel with a lumbermate, it'll perish the belts, we use diesel in the stenner, just plently of water, on wide cuts i have the water on flat out pretty much.

 

oh and i didnt really think those ripper 37's were as great as they say they are, was talking to a woodmizer guy at wilsons demo day and he said that woodmizer do a blade to fit the lumber mate and its supposed to be pretty good, might have to try it sometime
