Andrew et al,
I hadn't forgotten the bandsaw cut direction experiment, I received the blades I ordered in the middle of last month from Germany to day. So far I've got the blade mounted and running fairly accurately, I've got a lot of testing to do, but the initial impression is that it doesn't seem to be very different!
A few years ago I trued up the wheels on my lathe in a effort to get over this blade derailing problem, the wheels have a flange on one side and I cut them straight, without a crown, I presume that thy don't need a crown, does anyone have any experience of this?. I have seen the Jet version of this saw running without the derailment problem, but I couldn't get inside it to find out.
Your thoughts on this please, regard, Matthew.
