Some people use a dollar bill for band saw set up, some use
a hunnert. For the thrust bearing I back it off, the
bearing, not the dollar bill, a sixteenth or so then start
the saw up and slowly (vewy, vewy slowly) start to dial it
into the back of the blade until it just starts to spin
intermittently, vewy, vewy intermittently.

Now, an embarrassing question, and you don't have to answer,
is the blade on right side down?
