Bought a 16 inch Rigid bandsaw (demo) and have tried to cut with it. I
have aligned the blade set the bearing and alignment block, set the
tension. leveled the table etc etc etc but it still will not cut a
straight line. I drew a straight line with a square and starting on the
line it will wander off almost a half inch to the right on a 4 inch board.
Is this the blade causing this??? blade looked good and it was on the saw
when I bought it 6 tpi by 3/8th wide. thanks for any help
There is an adjustment that moves the blade towards you or away from you. If
the cut is wandering to the right, the blade may be forward of where it
should be. Try to adjust the blade to run in the center of the wheel.
