Finally got around to putting the riser kit on my central machine 14" bandsaw in between many other projects. Put the kit on very quickly and
Put a new blade on that i got from Louis Iturra and adjusted the tension per the gauge on the back of the machine (tension knob-and the twang method). Then adjusted the tracking with the other knob until it ran in the middle of the tire per the instructions.
Then set the guide blocks (black cheap ones that came with the saw) so that they kiss the dollar bill between them and the blade, and the thrust bearing to just touch the back of the blade......
Problem is that the blade seems to favor touching the right side of the guide block ........now way to adjust right to left.........
Anybody got any ideas on why this is happening ?
