I recently purchased..( ok traded ..) for a Craftsman 12 inch bandsaw.It came with a `1/4 inch blade which was fine at first..now I stopped by and picked up a 1/2 inch blade because I need to do some more sawing,but with a bit more stable cut.I installed the blade…back off of the bearings to make sure nothing is touching the blade and SLOWLY rotate the balde without the power being on.Now I noticed the blade keeps walking off of the wheels.I checked the tension adjuster and its right on the correct tension.Now this bandsaw came with NO booklet…( what do ya want for free…? lol..) but I dont believe it can be that hard to replace one blade with a wider one…ok I was wrong. Now I did notice..( if it means anything..) that the lower wheel has rubber around the wheel but the upper one doesnt..( make sense..? ).Could I be doing something wrong..? Think the wheels need to be replaced.?As always..any HELP is good help….Thx. |
