hi folks i have record BS350 which i have just changed the blade on to a 3/4 fast cut tuffsaw blade.
The blade is great and on anything but to about 2 inches it cuts just fine but as per my last post having some problems getting it to cut straight on wider boards
Below is a photo of the drift which is to the right away from the fence. the photo shows a 50 mm long cut
I have checked and rechecked the the set-up. The upper guides are just touching the blade on both side with no play and the back guide is all but touching and touches as soon as you start to push the work though.
i have also set-up the guide to the right of the blade (looking from the front) in place first to ensure that everything is square to this.
The lower guides are set the same as the upper guides.
The tension is set to 3/4 inside the bandsaw.
i have also rechecked the fence and it is nice and square to the mitre slot
guard/guide head unit is set 5mm above the piece of work i am trying to rip down.
having run some work through and checked the drift from behind the band saw the drift seams to be coming/starting from the top of the blade which is then pulling the lower part of the blade out
Any help would be welcomed as i am pulling my hair out with this and have never had this problem with any blades before.
Cheers frustrated of stourport.
