    Bandsaw Tuning Tutorial?

    Some time ago, I followed a link to a tutorial about tuning a band saw. It was made at a woodworking show by a company that made accessories for band saws. I think the link was posted on this site but I can't find it now. Does anyone remember this or know about the video I'm talking about? Thanks.

        Last week I purchased a few Timberwolf blades while at Grizzly, Springfield MO. I watched the tutorial when this thread was posted and today, I set my BS up according to the recommendations. I had never centered the blade gullets to the center of the tire as they recommended and I usually had the blade much tighter than they suggested. Also made adjustments on the roller guides as noted. I was able to cut a 4 ft long 2x4 into 4ft long 3/32 slices with the 3 1/2 inch side vertical. No wandering, but that was soft pine.

          I've also used this method and it saved my BS from the scrap heap. It didn't make an underpowered, undersized BS great, but made it usable. Can't wait to tune a new BS with this method.
