The books I read suggested rounding the back of the blade with a stone
to make it easier to cut curves.

Not only that, it often reduces the drift.

Is this something that is already done for you on quality blades or is
it something that should be done by every band saw owner?

This does not have to be done on the Laguna BS's with the ceramic
guides. The saw does this for you.
