Ok, so I went the REALLY cheap route and found an old bandsaw that belonged to my grandpa, but did not cut without the band coming off the rollers. I spent a couple of days figuring out how it worked, had to re-cut the plastic guides, make a couple of parts that were missing, but I FINALLY got it to cut without the blade jumping off track. Now the only problem that I cannot figure out is the blade drifts to the left as I cut. I have absolutely no idea about bandsaws. This is an old skil model 3104 10” bandsaw, also sold as a craftsman model 2442. I can not find any manuals available on the internet. Do I need a new blade? It could possibly have the wrong blade in it, my Grandpa had Althizmers, so many of his old tools have been incorrectly modified, to say the least. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much to all of the lumberjocks that have given me advise in the past to help me get started. -- RJ |
