Band saw tension gauge:

Frank,
First off I want to say I have looked over your website and enjoyed looking at all the shop tips.
My question is how do you convert the saw tension reading to PSI. I have a commercial unit that I use daily in my job. Its made by Amada and pretty pricey. I have seen cheaper ones on ebay that use a standard dial indicator but never figured how the reading would be converted to PSI which is what mine is graduated in.
