I would think you may have a few contributing factors. Blade tension
may be to low. As the blade is being used it will stretch, you may need
to adjust. Double check you guides, upper and lower. Some drift is
normal, and if using a fence, adjust the fence for the drift.

I think it was probably the guides. When I pulled them out, I found the
faces weren't square anymore. Resurfaced them, and it is much better now.

Changing grain in the material will also contribute to drift.

Have you cleaned the rubber on the wheels? This problem shows itself by
the blade not tracking true. Working green wood would leave residue on
the blade and be deposited on the wheels.

Cleaning the wheels was easy enough, but yes, there is residue on the blade.
That can't be helping matters.

How do I clean the blade? Plastic wool did nothing at all. Thanks.
