I have a ShopFox W1706 14" band saw with the riser for 12" cuts. I have a lot of trouble cutting bowl blanks out of green wood. Most of the blanks are cut reasonably flat, so I do not get into rocking issues. I have been using 3/8 AS - 4 TPI Timberwolf blades. The issue seems to be the blades bend easy and run off the guides. I went through the set up several times and everything seems to be in order. The only issue seems to be that I cant tension the blade enough.
I searched the forum for the post I saw a few months back about a company other than carter that had springs and guides. My first thought is to replace the spring so the blade can be tensioned enough. After that, the saw might be worth putting guide blocks or some other upgraded guides. I am not a fan of the original guide rollers.
