adjusting the blade guide bearings:
note: Blade Guide Bearings (88, 92,
100, 104) adjustment is a critical fac-
tor in the performance of the Band-
saw.
It is always best to try a new Saw
1.
Blade (82) to see if it will correct poor
cutting before attempting to adjust the
Blade Guide Bearings. For example,
if a Saw Blade becomes dull on one
side sooner than the other, it will
begin cutting crooked. A Saw Blade
replacement will correct this prob-
lem, whereas Blade Guide Bearings
