I didn't pick that up in the Pitkin bandsaw setup document; but perhaps that's a consequence of the described adjustment method?? Inquiring minds want to know :)
This was my video. Yes "blade neutral" is an excellent way to describe this. To me this was a very logical and proven method of setting up the saw but I did confirm this with other saw manufacturers. I have not seen Pitkin's setup doc but I suspect it may get the same result using a different method. I also found a video from Jet on setting up one of their industrial saws that said the same. Let me see if I can find the video. Also, please note: There are two other videos following my video you referenced. My saw was impossible to set up correctly. Some of these saws were made wrong and some are not. I put the original guard back in place and used an elevating plate to resolve the issue. I've been running the same blade for about a year now and I've cut a LOT of steel!? Here's part two:
