What could cause a bandsaw blade to twist back and forth? The cutting edge and the back edge twist back and forth causing a very rough cut.

Hi Mil,
The only think I could guess it that maybe you need more tension on the blade. Are the guides adjusted correctly? If so, a one dollar bill should just fit between the guide and the blade. If they are adjusted correctly then my money is on too loose a blade.

I agree with Chris, try to turn the tension up and see if it helps. You don't mention what kind of blade or saw. Can only assume it's not a cheap blade.

Check and make sure you blade does not have a kink. Unplug, turn the blade slow, should beable to see if it is kinked
