[TheForge] bandsaw alignment

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Howdy:
I just bought my first nearly adult bandsaw at the CBA's tailgate 
sales....It's a stout old cast iron,  kalamazoo horizontal saw that runs 
a 12'X3/4" blade and is old enough to sport grey hairs. Kalamazoo won't 
even admit to making bandsaws anymore.
 Now that the hydraulic feed is tamed and there are shiny new guide 
bearings it's going to need alignment...I assume. Yes, when the blades 
come I'll test it out first before twisting it's old parts out of line.
But given it's age ( it isn't too sloppy surprisingly)  it'll probably 
need some,,mmmm,,guidance; and so will i.  Having done major reworking 
on my 2 smaller bandsaws, i have a vague idea of what needs to be done 
but i've never seen it done right. Can anyone refer me to a website or a 
company that gives out booklets detailing the specifics? My google 
searches weren't all that helpful......Thanks all....Pete F
