    Wheel.Alignment When wheels are aligned, or coplanar, the bandsaw cuts straighter, with much less vibration, heat, and blade wear because the blade is automatically balanced on the Parallel, Not Coplanar wheel. See Figure 5 to better understand coplanarity. Coplanar If your bandsaw develops tracking problems that can't be fixed by adjusting the upper wheel tracking knobs, then check the wheel alignment before taking any other steps.
