    A plea to Steve Maskery

    I am having big problems with my bandsaw cutting straight after changing the top tire and the blade. Pretty sure it is my fault as I have been fiddling with the adjuster wheel that controls the amount of forward or backward tilt on the top wheel. I have Steve's set of bandsaw CDs but no longer...
