First a gloat, I just picked up a MM bandsaw. It is a delayed Christmas present.
Now the issue. I just spend hours cleaning it up, and setting it up. I installed the 1" blade that they sent with the saw. I got it tracking so that the teeth are just hanging off both wheels. Seems to track well.
The guides are set up so that the rear guides are about 1/16" behind the blade. Everything seems to work well when I spin the wheels by hand.
Yet, when I power it up the blade moves back and forth, to the point that the upper rear guide spins. You can see jump back and forth. What causes this? How do I fix it?
