I was reading on another string about some owners balancing a nickle on edge on thier running TS. For a long time I thought that was urban legend untill, a few years ago, I tuned up my old contractor saw a little & switched to link belts (I now have link's on all my belt driven stuff). :)
I'm wondering if there are way's to enhance the performance of other shop tools? For example, I've tried for years to "tune" my band saw so it resaws without the blade wandering and have not yet suceeded in making it perform like that ancient monster Krenov is shown slicing veneer on. I must not have the "touch". I've read and applied info from a couple of well written BS books but I'm still not quite there yet. :o
Anyone care to share what they may have done to balance a tool or noticibly improve accuracy or performance of one?
