AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™
The Carter AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™ replaces the stock tension rod, nut and knob in most cast iron framed 14" bandsaws with a ratcheting knob assembly for easier tensioning and de-tensioning.
Warning: Cancer and Reproductive Harm *Up until now most tension assemblies featured a simple small knob attached to a threaded rod for tensioning and de-tensioning your bandsaw. Functional, but not easy or accurate. The Carter AccuRight® Ratchet-Rod™ (Patent Pending) changes all that.
The Ratchet-Rod™ Kit replaces the original threaded rod and nut of the bandsaw with an ACME-threaded rod and nut, for easy rotation, and includes a contoured ratcheting knob for quick and comfortable rotation. Inside the knob is a ratchet mechanism with a tiny flip lever that reverses the drive direction just like a socket wrench. Once the rod and nut are installed, tightening or loosening your blade is quick and easy.
Fits most 14” cast iron framed 14” bandsaws such as JET, Delta, Grizzly, Porter Cable, Powermatic, Rigid, etc.
| Fits Saws | Most 14" saws (Jet, Delta, Rigid, Powermatic etc.) with standard tension assembly. |
