Adjusting Blade
Tracking
The blade tracking has been properly set at
the factory. The tracking 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, this is a sign that the tracking
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 material, the
blade tension is correct, and the blade is properly
lubricated.
