Hi Barri,
I also own a BP-310, or it may be the BP-360 I can't remember exactly off the top of my head. Adjusting the bearings is one of the worst aspects of the saw. They are difficult to... -

Thanks Derek,
It is good to see that others have also experienced problems with the drive wheel. I might have to get a few new ones and be a bit more gentle with them in future.
