I run a T.A. Schmid, it cuts backwards from most mills. It cuts toward you and you walk on the sawdust. I buy coiled blades, I have to uncoil and flip it inside out. The first time I changed a blade was so suprised by how it sprung open it distracted me, plus I had never done it before. Any way, I got the new one on, the guards back down... I got behind it and lined it up for a cut and the teeth were backwards >:(, for a second I started to get mad thinking I had bought the wrong blades. Then I figured out to flip it inside out.
Coiling them back up was mentioned, I searched and didn't find anything. There is a local guy (40 miles away)  who I have been taking them to, he is quitting. I am going to have to started sending them out. I have tried to figure how to coil them, I'm not having much luck. I have about 30 I am going to take over before he quits.

Check out the knowledge base.  There are instructions there.  click on "Forum Extras" at the top right of the page and the knowledge base link will appear.

It's in the "milling-bandsaws" section.

If you know anyone with a small shop bandsaw it would help to practice on the little blades first  :)  I had a 16" Grizzly bandsaw before I bought my sawmill...it's much easier to practice on a 1/4" or 1/2" blade until you get the hang of it  ;)

A long( 60") V-belt can be used to practice on.  I could not coil the band on my metal cutting saw until I had coiled a 16'4" from my mill.

Tom, you were right. That was easy. That's why I never asked before, I knew it would be simple and I didn't want to look dumb. I had just spent probably 2 hours off and on over the last year and never lucked into it. Glad I asked, I hadn't cut myself yet, but much more messin' around I was fixin' to.
