Hello Creekers,
I am having some trouble with my 17-inch Bridgewood band saw. This morning I attempted to install a new 1/4" Timberwolf blade to do some pattern cutting. It seems that as soon as I turn the saw on, the blade "walks" its way right off the band saw tires, even after carefully adjusting the guides and tensioning the blade according to the guide posted on the saw. 4 attempts later and with the same result, I'm not sure what's causing this and I could use some guidance. I will add that this is the narrowest blade that I have used on this saw to date, but I'm not sure that should matter. Thanks in advance.
