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

It's normal for some amount of drift to be there, but not that much.
Take the blade that came with the saw and throw it in the trash, get a
good blade for it and work from there.
