There's also a "4x6 Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw FAQ" at:

   http://www.tinyisland.com/4x6bsFAQ.html


that might be helpful. I keep a copy of this on my home machine for
reference, although (miraculously) I've never had a broblem with my
4x6 that I couldn't fix by tinkering.

There's another 4x6 page at:

   http://www.mini-lathe.com/Bandsaw/Bandsaw.htm

but that one is probably less likely to help with your present problem
of blades falling off.  But he has a good cautionaly tale of how he
didn't *quite*  set his shop on fire with a 4x6.
