Change Blades Fast, Relieve Tension Easily Did you know you should relieve the tension on your band saw blade when it won’t be used for a while? Relieving the tension extends blade life, and can help prevent premature bearing and arbor failure. Most of us forget to do it though, largely and because it’s not very convenient. Carter’s Quick Release makes it easy to do (just pull the lever)and hard to forget (the big handle is clearly visible). It provides three levels of tension - full tension for use when cutting, partial tension for blade changing, and full-release. Installation is easy, although it does take a bit of saw disassembly to accomplish. Designed for use with 1/8" to 3/4" wide blades. Fits Delta, Grizzly, General, Jet, Ridgid, and Sears Contractor 14" band saws. Made in USA.

Comments about Carter Band Saw Blade Quick Release:
I've had my 14" bandsaw for a few years without a quick release and it was a "pain" to release the tension on the blade after each use.Installation was realy simple and quick.Should have bought this right after I got my band saw.
