Re: Bandsaw Questions
I still have a litte cant and in the process of fixing it. The blade still is riding toward the back of the top wheel and seems to be working pretty well. As I cut more I should be able to improve as I do more cutting with the narrower blades. Thanks Larry

Re: Bandsaw Questions
The blade should ride about 1/4" from the back edge of the upper wheel tire. When it does so, cant should be correct. FWIW the blade should also ride about 1/4" from the back of the lower wheel tire(no way to change that!)
This assumes the bearings are correctly positioned.
Do not 'fix' the cant by eliminating it!!!!!!!
