bnad saw blade

bassman211:
I set a band saw up as you do Badger. I will try timber wolf.  Today I got pissed at a 68 inch Osage stave. I was wearing myself out with hand tools trying to reduce it. My band saw won't do it as is, so I set up a portable table saw , and went to town. Turned out pretty good, and saved me a ton of work. I was covered with saw dust when I was done, but it worked out for me. Thanks for the tips.

Eric Krewson:
Another thing I would suggest is to watch one of the bandsaw tuning videos on you tube, properly tuned bandsaw makes a world of difference.

bassman211:
I read the instructions from end to end when I bought it new. Blade adjustment, roller adjustment, etc, but I will watch the vids to see if I am missing some thing.

Badger:
  One simple test for a bandsaw is to draw a line on a board parallel to the edge. Cut that line free hand for about 4" and then stop and look at how you are holding your board. It should be straight, if your blade is slightly off track the board will be slightly slanted.
