I'm having some band saw issues and need some expert guidance.I have decided to start cutting pen blanks from my bowl cut-offs and scraps. I set my saw up and followed the instructions to adjust the blade. As I started cutting the blanks I noticed the blade bowing out away from the stock guide I had clamped on as I cut. Then I looked at the bottom wheel where the saw blade travels and noticed the blade running over the front edge with the tire pushed over the back edge. I reset everything and manually turned the wheel for about 10 revolutions and all seemed well then I turned on the machine and it ran well so I continued cutting.
Half way into the second blank it did it all over again.
I have a Jet 12" open stand. What am I doing wrong?
