I inherited an older band saw from my father in-law. I am familiar with the saw. He discussed it with me before he passed. He could never get the blade to track straight, even after taking it to supposedly a professional to be repaired. I took it apart to try and get it to function properly. I couldn’t get it to even stay on. I’m wondering if the rubber tire, that is hardened with age has anything to do with the problem. The other thing is possibly the blade is distorted. Is it possible it needs to be adjusted in the other axis using shims? Any advice will be. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
