Gentle persons -

I bought a floor model Jet 14 inch bandsaw from Lowe's. I downloaded the
manual off the website and followed the directions for setting up the
saw. When I turn it on, the blade comes off within seconds, I have tried
more tension and less tension. I have tightened all the bolts. I checked
that the tires are aligned on the wheels.

Turn the wheels by hand and watch the blade (I suspect the blade won't
ride on the center (crest?) of the wheel). The manual should should tell
you how to adjust the top wheel in and out--at least the manual for my
Delta BS did. Mine needed minor adjustment out of the box too.


What other things can I try, is there a good book on the subject.
Basically ---- HELP!!!!

I thought Lonnie Bird's "Bandsaw Book" was very good. I think its a
standard.



I want to thank you all in advance, I enjoy my reading of this group and
the help you provide. I have archived dozens of threads on topics that I
refer to when I work in the shop.
