Blade Lead
Bandsaw blades may wander off the cut line when
sawing, as shown in
Figure 60. This is called
blade lead.
Blade lead is usually caused by too fast of a
feed rate, a dull or abused blade, or improper
blade tension. If your blade is sharp/undamaged,
properly tensioned, and you still have blade lead,
perform the following procedures.
Figure 60. Example of blade lead.
6. Rotate left and right adjustment bolts until
lower wheel is coplanar with upper wheel,
