It may have worked for you, but I am reluctant to try it.


It works for the folks at Laguna (Leon's story) who make one the best
bandsaws available.



I've done it on my saw when I needed that extra few inches of resaw
depth. I have flat tires and a wide blade, I imagine a crowned wheel
could have issues if not tensioned correctly (not too much or too little).

Oddly, and counter to what you would think, the crown helps the blade
stay centered, I read that some where when researching BS's 10 years
ago. With my Laguna the tension does not seem to be critical and I
seldom adjust the top wheel tilt when going from a 1/2" to a 1.25" wide
blade.
