Abstract
A system and method for controlling the tension of an internal diameter saw blade by controlling the temperature of the blade while it is still rotating. The blade temperature is controlled by regulating the temperature of the wash water flow associated therewith. In one embodiment blade tension is periodically measured and, when the tension falls below a predetermined limit, the temperature of the wash water stream is decreased for a period of time until the tension increases to a preselected value.
