unusual band saw blade

[desmo11225]

Hello All
I have been sharpening band saw blades , wood cutting blades, as shown on you tube . Ive got one where the teeth are leaning the opposite way to the other saw blades , what would this be used for, or can you turn it to be the same as the rest of them , its very stiff and my old hands ca'nt do it , any ideas welcome. Thank You All. desmo11225

You mean your blade is inside out.
Stick a face shield on and some gloves and twist a straight bit and the rest should follow with a twang!

I worked with a bloke once, "This bandsaw blade is crap, i just changed it & its blunt" Clouds of smoke as it tried to rub its way through the wood. Yep he had put the blade on inside out so the teeth were upside down.

Incidentally, and to answer the other part of the question:
Meat cutting bandsaws tend to have the teeth on the opposite side.
Ie, the in feed side has the throat of the saw on the right hand side.
So it could be a meat blade?
