Okay, dumb question here...I have a 10 Delta band saw, and when I am cutting, the blade is not guiding straight through the wood. When cutting it goes to the same side all the time. I adjusted the guides so they were as close to the blade as possible but nothing changed. I used a jig so I know the wood was going through straight, I tried to push the wood through faster, then slower but everything I have tried has not changed the way it cuts. I thought maybe it was the wood (teak) but I used a friends band saw and it cut straight.

The only thing I can think of is maybe something is wrong woth the blade...any help would be greatly appreciated.
