Just my take on flat wheels. I dont think the tracking adjustment works the same as on a crowned wheel, the tracking adjustment on a flat wheel is used to position the blade correctly for its width and on a crowned wheel its primary function is to set the curvature of the blade which in turn sets the "drift" hence the need to set it using the centre line of the wheel so that all blades track the same or close to it when changed. Of course the curved effect will be lessened as the blade becomes narrower.

try this video for adjusting the lower guides Setting up Ceramic guides for Felder FB510 bandsaw - YouTube
Its for a felder, but the guides should be the same. Fast forward to 9:23 if impatient
This video gives a really good view of the range of for/aft movement in the bottom guide carrier plate on a Hammer at 2:00 PimpMyBandSaw - YouTube

Thank you T91 for clarifying the issue of running the teeth of the blade off the front edge. Much appreciated.
