SAWDUST2155 - Need pictures of what you did to go along with your description on replacing your cool blocks. I seem to have a hate/love relationship with my bandsaw. Love it when it works, hate it when it doesn't. Need to do something so that I will Love it more.

Just wanted to update everybody on the Tech Support response to my bandsaw issues. The sent the parts (upper arm, idler wheel and c clip) I had time to put it together last night and this AM. Everything went together fine and tested out great. Based on low noise and reduced vibrations I think I had issues from day one.
Much quieter and no vibration. Very please with response.
