I have an Axminster AWBS bandsaw. It has started to cause me problems with cutting. When i try to cut a straight line i have noticed that the blade starts to bend a little. By the time i have got half way through the cut the speed starts to slow, and i can smell burning. I have had to back up the blade in the cut as i can not continue and the cut has wandered so far off the straight.
I have checked the tension of the blade and the position of the guides. They all seem to be in place. I have also kept the blade guide about 10mm above the cutting height for blade support.
Could this problem be just that the blade needs replaced. I have not done a great deal of cutting on the bandsaw in the 10 months i have had it. Could it just need replaced.
