Dang! I have this bandsaw:

http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0555

Was doing some resawing last night, and noticed some blade drift. That's odd, I thought, hadn't seen that before. The workpiece was ruined. I cursed myself, and decided to work on something else. Went to release the blade tension, and noticed part of the mechanism wasn't just cracked, but had completely broken off, right above the second bolt. It's less than two years old. Dang. First time I've had that happen on a major tool. Guess it'll be down a while... :(

Thanks,

Bill
 
I have the same saw. Just picked up an Delta 14" in perfect condition this week to (probably) resell. But man I love my G0555. Even though I am not a fan of Chiwanesse machines. Keep us informed on the repairs. But I from what I have heard I expect Griz will have you parts in short order.
