Band saw help

<< < (2/2)

Ed Brooks:
The one we have is a different brand but looks very similar. I have a manual that shows the adjustment. I can’t post pics. If you want send me a # I can’t text the instructions. Ed.

osage outlaw:
I found a small set screw that tilts the top wheel.  It was still throwing the blade.  I took the lower guide off and the blade tracked fine.  The guide is torquing the blade causing it to come off the wheel.  Since I plan on only using this for cutting knife blanks I am going to try to make an adapter plate to make the guides more inline with the wheels.  It will be just like a vertical wood band saw guide set up.   

bjrogg:
Clint when the blade is off can you wiggle the wheels? They shouldn't have be sloppy. If they do you probably have a bad bearing or bushing. Just a guess, but seems quite probable.
