I have a Delta 10inch, that I inherited form my dad 5 yrs ago when he pass away. After using it for 5 yrs I decided to buy new blade just because I believe that it must have been at least 3 yrs before that when he might have changed it. The blade will not stay on. I have tightened the top wheel, a little and a lot. I have cleaned it. But it will not stay on. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Sylvan

Glad to see that you have made Lumberjocks a part of your Woodworking experience… Welcome…

You could have a problem with the wheels of the bandsaw being in alignment or coplanar. Below is a link to a article on how to tune your bandsaw up and correct the problem.
