Watch your tension.
I am new to bandsaws. Never had one. I finally got a 10" Jet, not the best, but faster than a coping saw, and bought a Timber Wolf 3/16 blade for small radii. It worked great. No effort at all, just move the wood around. I cut 3 violin necks out of 2" hardwood. A piece of cake. But I changed back to the original blade for straight cuts, and had to increase the tension. Forgot to reduce it when I changed back to the 3/16. It still worked. But I forgot to release my tension, and a month later when I went to use it, the blade promptly snapped. My fault. I bought 2 more of the 3/16, and a 1/2" one for straight cuts, and now I have learned my lesson.
