Hi BobL, That's what I suspected that its been out of alignment for a while, the motor is in a fixed position,and the4 bolts at the back adjust the tracking, I plan on using it quite a bit so want to align everything to prevent any more failures,and more cost, there must be a procedure to align everything but cant find anthings yet, cheers

Newbie, when I got my bandsaw secondhand the previous owner said that the blade wouldn't run in the middle of the bottom wheel. I used the bolts at the back to to adjust the wheel to make the blade track correctly. I found that I needed to adjust the motor pulley on the motor shaft to make it align with the pulley on the wheel. If you can fit a steel rule or some other sort of straight edge in behind the wheel and adjust your motor or motor pulley so that the sides of both pulleys are in line and parallel. See below for explanation. I did notice that the end of the motor shaft appears to be a long way inside the pulley. I don't know if it is because you have the 2 speed pulley and a short motor shaft, or if the pulley has not been positioned correctly on the shaft. The other thing I notice from your photo is that the tensioner is on the inside of the belt so that the points of the vee are running on the roller. The correct way of fitting the tensioner is to have it running on the back of the belt.
