[TheForge] RE: Band saw tune up

Ries,

Thanks for the links, I'll check them out.  My saw is a Craftsman but may
have been made in Taiwan. I got it used and I think that the bearing on the
non drive wheel is bad, allowing it to wable.

Bob- if your bandsaw tracks badly- it probably can be fixed. Try this
website- http://www.tinyisland.com/4x6bsFAQ.html
It tells how to tune up the little bandsaws so they work right.
As I said, the reason I buy Jet tools is they usually work the best of all
the taiwanese tools- you can have 3 different bandsaws that all look alike,
castings made in the same foundry, that work completely differently, because
of the quality of the parts on each one.

I found the bandsaw page on my favorite links page-
http://www.stagesmith.com/Metal-links.html
this is the greatest metalworking links page I have ever seen- tons of
categories and all kinds of web pages you were looking for, but couldnt
find.
I really recommend checking out this page. And no, they dont pay me, I dont
even know whose page it is.
