Crank that tension knob as tight as you can and watch your fingers.
um............................. NO !.......
If you do that you've bottomed out your spring and have eliminated all cushion in assembly which will lead to cracks and a trip to the scrap yard with your bandsaw.
NEVER fully tension a bandsaw. NEVER !

I'll bet the original Grizzly blade would work just fine as a nail finder
. Beyond that though, maybe wall decoration?

Too true. Why they even put a blade on their saws is a mystery to me. It makes an otherwise fine product appear incapable. My amazing G0636X couldn't cut much of anything with the blade they put on it. I made a couple of terrible cuts, took it off, and threw it away.
