Default speaking of bandsaw drift...

....Did anyone else see the article in the August Popular Woodworking
"Make Drift a Myth"? Basically, he says to get a high-tension spring
and crank up the tension, set ball-bearing guides tight to the blade,
clamp your fence tight and square to the table, and use a
bearing/featherboard to keep your workpiece tight against the fence.
Then "you'll make band saw drift a myth in your shop, too".
Is this realistic for most saws, or did he just get lucky results with
his? (14" w/riser, looks like Delta, $10.99 4 tpi skip blade from
Hartville).
