Default New Band Saw Questions

Since the Jet tech told you to try to adjust the riser block that would
suggest that the wheels are supposed to be coplanar. If they try to reverse
direction and tell you that they are currently correct be very suspicious.
Someone mentioned possibly removing the alignment pin so the riser could be
aligned, I don't know about removing the alignment pin, that would make a
single bolt have to hold everything together on every axis. Stuff happens
when you are using power tools and without that pin there is nothing to keep
the two pieces from twisting if something heavy knocks into it. In my
opinion this would be an unacceptable solution to a manufacturing problem.
I know all manufacturers have a hiccup once in a while, so hopefully they
will step up to the plate and get this resolved.


Yes, it will be interesting to hear what Jet says, hopefully tomorrow. I
appreciate your comments regarding removing the locater pins. Perhaps I
will need to drill new holes in the riser block. You are certainly
right, stuff happens.
