Fellow Creekers:
So today I noticed that the blade on the Griz 513 was riding on the front edge of the lower wheel while the blade was tracking on dead center on the upper wheel. This is a new development as the guides were not aligned as they had been. I adjusted the guides and the saw cuts as expected.
Full Disclosure: I had a catch after trying to cut an unsupported edge of a large turning blank. The blade came off the lower wheel and twisted maybe a quarter turn or less to the left, but did not kink. I replaced the blade today but still getting front bottom, center top alignment.
How to treat this?
Wheels not co-planer?
Tires worn out?
Something else?
I don't want to start making adjustments until I know which adjustment to make.
As always I'm grateful for your insights.
Tom, in Douglasville, concerned.
