Adjusting
Blade Tracking
The blade tracking has been properly set at the
factory and will rarely need to be adjusted if the
bandsaw is used properly.
If the blade comes off the wheels, or if the blade
bogs down in a cut, these are signs that the track-
ing needs to be adjusted. Before adjusting the
blade tracking, however, be sure that the feed
rate and blade speed are correct, the blade is not
dull and has correct teeth style and TPI for mate-
rial, the blade tension is correct, and the blade is
properly lubricated.
