Bandsaw 1/2" blade problem

[azarcher]

Thanks for the tip Bill, I was stuck on which way to go. I took your advice and
moved the arm up a little, along with the new bearings everything seams to be working just fine.

Thanks again for everyones help. This is a very helpful forum.

Thanks to all for the advice. I started by replacing the bearing and checking all adjustments.Still had a problem,so followed Bills's advice and tweeked the
upper shaft a little and everything seems to be working fine.

This the best place for advice on anything shopsmith.

Thanks to All

I have made a special jig using a dial indicatoir that I use to straighten the upper bandsaw wheel rim that has been bent/wrapped when someone tryed to get the bandsaw blade to track. I can straighten most upper bandsaw wheels if there is no cracks in the ribs. Let me know if anyone needs this service. Thanks,
