[Resolved] Saw belt is now broken 6/27/19

It froze while cutting 1" x .125 tube…and the blade jumped. Not sure how to fix.

Please clarify which saw, and whether this was today?

What type of metal was being cut?

Is it the actual blade that’s broken or is it really the drive belt or similar of whatever tool?

Today,
The Blue metal band saw.
I was cutting steel tube…1"Diameter .120 thick walls.
Could be the drive, could be the blade inside where I can’t see. Don’t know.

If the blade is off track you can tell by lifting the panels on the end. This happens and is pretty easily fixed.

Someone from @Team_Metal_Shop can take a look. Of its the drive belt that would be a bigger problem but it sounds more like the blade.

It’s fixed

It is. He did, I watched as he did it, good job Charles. I was there when it came off, I figured Lamont knew how to put it back on . I regret that assumption and apologize to Lamont.
