Signing UpStep 1: Unfolding a bandsaw blade
The secret to unfolding a bandsaw blade to to find the right coil to grab from. With the teeth facing towards your palm, grab a coil. The correct coil will leave a coil free hanging in the middle. The other two coils will leave crossed sections.
Using the hand you picked the coil out with, reach for the free hanging coil and lift it upward. It will form a triangle.
Release the free hanging coil upward and away from you. This will straighten out the whole blade letting it unfold easily.
