Adjusting/setting up a bandsaw
#1
Yesterday I picked up a second hand Taiwanese 4 1/2" x 6" horizontal bandsaw for a little under half the cost of a new Chinese one. The old boy I bought it from had made a stand with wheels for it, which is an improvement on the flimsy frame they ship with.

Now, I know how to insert metal, turn it on and watch it cut but I have absolutely no idea how to set up the blade/guides etc. Anyone know of a good source of info on this?

It needs a new blade and note the the rollers that sit on the back of the blade have been grooved by the blade. I did a test cut on some square tube and blade isn't cutting straight. The metal is longer at the bottom of the cut.

Yes - I know that without pictures it never happened Blush
