RE: Bandsaw problems
Wood and YSR,
You have given me some good suggestions.
We recently moved and I have not unboxed the saw yet so I can't go out and take a look right now.
Ysr, you are right. There is an adjustment to the top wheel. I tried to get it to track. I even used the straightedge technique suggested but still couldn't track it.
The rubber on the lower wheel is crowned if I recall correctly. When the belt would begin to track off so would the rubber.
The bearing pressure you refer to Wood...
I am afraid I am going to have to wait until I get the saw unpacked.
I'm afraid I don't follow you there.
What puzzles me is that the saw is in such excellent shape to have this problem.
There is no obvious wear or tear that would seem to cause the tracking problem.
I have been out of RC for about 20 years but I remember going over to Dad's house and using the saw and had great luck with it.
I sure hope I can get it going again.
Thanks for your suggestions!
