Bandsaw wheel alignment?
Can the top wheel exhibit any free play when the saw is tuned correctly? I've got a Jet 18 inch, and the top wheel seems to be adjusted - tracking is good, with blade running right in the center of the tires - however the top wheel will wobble side to side. Up/down free play seems to be negligible; I assume due to proper setting of the tracking adjustment screw. The side to side freeplay lessens somewhat when the blade is tensioned, but will still move. I guess I thought it should be rigid, like a properly adjusted vehicle wheel bearing. Bottom wheel is very solidly adjusted, doesn't move either way. Anything to worry about? Thanks, John Sellers |
