    Default Bandsaw wobbles

    Folks.
    I do not know if this is right place to ask but here goes.
    I have replaced my blade and now it wobbles. That is the blade does not my machine. I adjusted all the runners etc but to no avail.
    Is there an easy solution?

    Couple of things spring to mind. Check the the weld has been ground flat and also check to seen the the blade has been welded straight not on an angle or with a twist.

    If is was one made locally take it back if a bought on in a packet swap it.

    May be coincidental but a worn belt will give the same symptom.

    One way to check is remove the blade run machine if good then it's the blade.


    Cheers

    Does your blade wobbles back and forth? If so, that must be a weld problem.
    Put the blade on the recommended/proper tension.

    If the blade is not behaving and you have done all the alingments on the machine then the blade is out of wack, take uit back to the supplier and request a replacement /refund .
