I have an older table top bandsaw that I have used for some time.Â* I was

With the metal cutting blade every thing was fine, but when I switched
the wood cutting blade would not cut.Â*Â* It is almost like pushing the
wood into a wall.

I have check every thing I could think of ie teeth directions, tension,
etc.Â* I have checked the height of the blade guide to insure that there
is clearance for the wood to pass under it.Â*Â* I have purchased a new
blade but not installed it yet thinking the that may be the problem.

Is there any thing else I should be considering that would cause the saw
not to cut?

I know you mentioned the blade guard was clear, but more times than I
care to admit, I've had my guard raised enough to clear, but a setscrew
on the back hangs down about 1/8" below and catches the wood causing a
WTF? moment. Ditto for the table insert.

OP: I replaced the blade and realized the speed of the saw was set to
slow. Made some adjustments and now every thing is working properly.
