Blade Balancing
Figure 5-5
Refer to Figure 5-5:
4.
Check blade balance by positioning the blade
horizontally on a nail or shaft through the blade’s
center hole. If either end of blade rotates downward,
grind (remove) metal on that end until blade will
balance horizontally on the nail. The blade is
properly balanced when neither end drops. Balance
of a blade is generally maintained by removing an
equal amount of material from each end of the blade.
