Hi all,
After trying to hunt down the source of the noise and vibration of my bandsaw, I found that the pulley and the bottom wheel are not aligned by about 3-4 mm. I don't want to move the wheel because it is now nicely aligned to the upper wheel. So, I guess I have to move the pulley but I'm stuck; the pulley doesn't move.
The pulley has a tiny set screw. I can't believe that this heavy duty pulley is secured only by this tiny screw. The diagram seems to show there are two set screws in tandem but I can see only one in place. Oddly, this set screw was very loose to begin with.
Anyway, I removed the set screw but the pulley stays.
I wonder if somebody can explain how pulleys are secured and moved in general. I certainly do not want to yank it without knowing what I'm supposed to do.
Your help would be appreciated.
