Thanks Robin. 1) I could do that. I’ll post results. 2) This bandsaw has 710mm wheels so should cope with a 20mm. 25mm might push it...

Unfortunately this was the new blade but I can try another. It can’t hurt. Thank you for your suggestions.

Thank you for the tips and I think your appraisal sounds pretty fair. I’ll take some videos tomorrow when back in the shop and post...

I just thought that maybe if you set your bandsaw up as suggested in the video that it might address some of your issues? It helped me...
