Re: Blade tracking problem
|
I had a tracking problem for the past few years, and nothing I did helped (the blade I was using during that time developed a lot of cracks and finally broke).? After replacing it, I recalled someone saying that even if you thought the blade tension was good, it probably wan't.? Taking that to heart, I *really* tightened the blade, and the tracking is now great.

Hi Mark You won't necessarily see or feel any 'play' because the inner bearing is generally OK and holding it steady but you can make it readily apparent with an 18" strip of aluminum angle or wood to which you fix some small magnets and apply to the rim of bottom bandwheel
I removed the blade on my saw so I could mess with the drive wheel to see if there is a lot of play in it.? I didn't observe much, if any.? But I'm not sure how little it takes to cause a tracking problem.
