Bandsaws can be wonky and hard to tune up. My advice is to buy good parts if needed - blades, guides, tires, and bearings - and sneak up on it. An adjustment here will affect an adjustment there so make small tweaks to zero in on the best performance.Hovannes wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 13:43 My 10 inch bandsaw got all wonky after I used it to cut a tire in half to fit in the recycling can as the alternative was a 30 mile trip to the closest county recycling center.
I suspect it needs a new blade and quite a bit of adjustment so I dug out he owner's manual, but I have to admit I'm finding this task a wee bit daunting.
Any words of encouragement?
