[TheForge] 4x6 saw adjustment

[Jerry Frost]

Exactly and the better saws have crowned wheels. 
Unfortunately some of the cheapies rely on precise 
adjustment and even more unfortunately can seldom be 
adjustmented well enough.

The slack in the idler wheel is a method of 
automatically adjusting band tracking but a little too 
much or a slightly off frame or too tightly adjusted 
and they make more problems than they solve.

Crowned wheels are far better.
