hi all i have a clarke cbs190 band saw, i find it poor at best, bought it with the intention that it could cut up to 3" but it struggle`s at 20mm. it also has a nasty habit of snapping blades or slipping off the top guide wheel. i was wondering if i could improve the saw by adding a 3/8" wide blade (witch is also 1/2" longer @ 56.1/2" long instead of 56" would this matter?) as i dont need to do that many tight radius cuts, and also installing some washers on the guide wheels to stop the blade sliping off under tension.
i would like to purchase a new saw but my budget wont allow it at the moment, i was hoping that a few low-cost alterations could improve that of witch i have.
many thanks mark.
