Or maybe DeWalt's small bandsaw (DCS371) is a crap tool.
Maybe they are in disfavor with the Chinese Communist Party and their tool
quality is going downhill as a result of that.
Or maybe I got a lemon.

In any case, it sucks.
No twisting. Cutting a straight line. DeWalt blade (shipped and sold by
Amazon) still cracked after minimal use.

Hopefully my bigger DeWalt portable bandsaw (DCS374B) works better.
But it has apparent signs of being at least partly designed in China
(besides
being manufactured there). Will be wary if I purchase anymore of theirs.

They have also developed that stupid practice of practically welding their
drill chucks to the spindle.

Perhaps the saw needs a trigger actuator headspace adjustment.
