William, you'd do better to use google groups directly rather
than using the home moaners hub website as an interface to USENET. It
would make it easier for you to quote the article you are responding
to using idiomatic USENET quoting.

The wheel radius or the cut radiuses? You're not clear on terminology.

No manufacturer currently sells a homeowner-grade three-wheel bandsaw.

Because the wheels are typically much smaller than those in a two-wheel
saw, the blade is subject to extra stress on the blade weld, which causes
premature failure. Tracking is another problem endemic to three-wheelers.

Unless you can find one of these:

The wheel radius is the problem, the blade has to bend too much around
the 3 smaller wheels and the blades prematurely fail as a result.

Why would I want a 3-wheel BS except for the throat depth? It seems that
they are a solution to a problem that has better solutions.

I think you've already described the reason they exist.

They tend to be shorter, easier to use on top of a bench top.
