Milwaukee Band Saw Blade Release Lever
Model Number: 31-52-0032
The Milwaukee 31-52-0032 is a genuine OEM Blade Release Lever for compatible Milwaukee band saws — the lever mechanism that the operator actuates to release blade tension and open the blade guard for band saw blade removal and installation. The blade release lever is used every time a band saw blade is changed — it must be actuated to relieve the blade tension before the blade can be removed from the drive and idler wheels, and it must be returned to the engaged position with proper tension after the new blade is installed for safe, accurate cutting. A lever that becomes stiff, binds, cracks, or loses its positive engagement and release action compromises the blade change process and may prevent proper blade tensioning — both of which require immediate lever replacement to restore safe, reliable band saw blade change capability.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM blade release lever ensures the correct lever geometry, pivot specification, and material for the blade tension release mechanism of the specific Milwaukee band saw model it is designed for — the lever must travel through the correct arc and engage the correct tension release mechanism for proper blade tension release and re-engagement. Always verify your specific Milwaukee band saw model number and serial number at milwaukeetool.com before ordering blade release components, as lever specifications vary between Milwaukee band saw models and production revisions.
