Hello, I purchased a Jet 14" Band saw with a closed stand. The stock # is 708705 and the S/N is 02049140. The previous owner said the saw is around 6 years old. So far, so good I brought the saw home and bagan to familiarize myself.
I found the bearings both upper, and lower were holding the blade to the right as you look at the saw? Apparentley whoever set this up did not no what he was doing. So after going to Woodcraft, and purchasing a new blade, and setting the saw up according to the directions,that I was able to down load it works and cuts just fine.
I decided to go a bit further, I replaced the guides with cool blocks. I then proceeded to check the belt tension. Oops I probably shouldn't have looked because there are two (2) belts one long from the motor to a pulley, that almost seems like a 3 speed pulley?, and a shorter one from this pulley to the lower wheel? The manual I have, and an older manual that customer service sent me does not show 2 belts? I have tried to find a manual on line, and have tried tech support from Jet and as yet I have no info. pertaining to this slight problem? I don't see it as critical, however, I would like to know what I purchased? Does anyone have information pertaining to this? If so please let me know.
Thankyou,
Jeff
