Hello,

I've just been given a very old band saw and it will not cut straight. The
band saw is an old Black & Decker Drill Powered Band Saw that has been
converted to an electric motor. I've disassembled everything and cleaned it
all up. It cuts really well, but will not cut straight lines and always cuts
to the left. If anyone has some suggestions on what I can do to correct
this, I'm willing to almost try anything.


Thanks in advance to all who reply.


You have to adjust you're fence for drift, each blade will have a
different drift angle.

Draw a straight line on a 36 inch board and hand feed it. turn the
board until it cuts right, then set you're fence or board fence at
this angle.
