Ok I bought this bandsaw a year or 2 ago but it just got to me last week, at first glance the machine was a lot better than what I expected. I have to say that I am impressed with the overall quality of such a cheap (pricewise) machine.
The reason I got this machine as opposed to others was because of the sheer amount of people who own it and I've maybe heard one complaint about it after lots and lots of research.
Anyway, my only problem is getting the upper and lower wheel to be coplaner. They are about 1/16" out of coplaner and its the bottom wheel that needs to come out.
I tried putting some washers between the wheel and the pully, but that didn't work out to good. The only other solution I can think of is putting some washers on the main shaft of the bottom wheel, but I've been to just about every hardware store that I can think of and nobody has them in that size. So I may just have to special order them from the states. But I just want to make sure that that is what I have to do before I make the order.
I'd appreciate help from anybody who can help me. Thanks guys.
EDIT: Sorry guys, the bandsaw I am using is the G0555
