I do remember noting and being somewhat surprised that PM and Jet were two
which rated worst on wheel alignment owing to being out and not having
sufficient upper shaft length to compensate via shimming...

Wrong!!

No, what DJB posted was in fact printed and photo illustrated in said
article.

I have a Jet 14" 1 hp bandsaw. The FW article is B.S.

I have a Delta X5 that I love. Did you see how well MY saw did? G I
will agree that if you use Delta's stamped blade tension scale, my
example will return the same resaw result the test stated, but I totally
disagree with other comments about my saw.

I didn't read the FWW article, don't know what they said, but your saw
may be completely different from the saw that was tested with regard
to the process control of the parts that result in appropriate
function. A lot of water has gone under the bridge from then to now.

Remember, the testers get one example of each tool, just like the
examples you and I own.

So much personal preference is involved in any too review that I just
use them as feature reviews and listings of measurable stats. In many
cases, personal methods of work can greatly tilt preferences.
