The wheels of my bandsaw are misaligned. Blade is to the back of the top wheel, to the front of the bottom wheel. 105 x 3/4 in. @ 3 tpi.
It is a 14 in. King three speed model with a riser block that allows me to resaw to about 12 inches. The top, bottom and riser block all have pins in them for alignment.
Spent most of yesterday working on it. Tried shims under either side of the riser block. No work!
Added a shim behind the top wheel so it would be farther ahead. Helped maybe?? Had to grind down a washer for this.
The tensioner slide to which the top wheel attaches is also sloppy in the guide. This is the way it came. No adjustment possible.
The blade tensioner is a long pointed bolt which fits into a predrilled hole in the top casting. I am starting to think that perhaps this drill hole may be out a little?? causing all my problems.
Any and not all but some ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. <!--emo&-->
