Help with Carba-Tec 17" bandsaw
G'day -
I recently bought a second-hand one of these.
I was hoping someone with one would be able to send me a close-up photo of the top wheel hinge.
On mine, the tension lever will not tension the blade without a packer inserted below the cam and the tension gauge does not register at all until the tension hand wheel is half-way in.
I suspect misassemby...

Help with Carba-Tec 17" bandsaw
Thanks, but not really - apart from the admonition to check everything on a second-hand tool.
At some point I will check for run-out and coplaniarity; however, the blade tracks fine.
What doesn't work correctly - without a shim - is the blade tension cam.
Can anyone help out with a photo of a correctly-assembled top wheel hinge?

The band might be slightly too long?
