No matter what material you’re cutting, getting the blade tension right is one of the keys to quality cuts on the bandsaw. Unfortunately, most bandsaws come with only a rudimentary tension gauge, and ...

For two decades, my go-to tool for measuring rig tension on dinghies and small keelboats has been the Loos PT-1 gauge. In all that time, I’ve never seen two gauges read the same, even when brand-new — ...

This video shows Mecmesin’s CFG+, a pocket-sized, lightweight entry level force gauge designed for elementary tension and compression measurements. The CFG+ provides a simple, digital to traditional ...

For the first time, biophysicists have measured the molecular force required to mechanically transmit function-regulating signals within a cell. A new laboratory method, named the tension gauge tether ...

In this experiment, ligand molecules are tethered by DNA strands to a substrate; the strands have defined tension tolerances and will burst if tension above their tolerance is applied. The ...
