Thanks to everyone that gave me advice, I have my bandsaw just purring like a kitten.
Got the book, read it and tuned the saw.
Have the Carter tension release on, have the Cool Blocks in.
Got my Timber Wolf blade on and tracking like a champ.
My Kreg fence came today and installed it, not much of a job there.
Set the fence at 3/16 of and inch on the Kreg scale on the fence and grabbed a board from the scrap bin. A 4 inch by 3/4 inch red oak, 20 inches long.
I did a resaw cut and it tracked spot on, put the calipers on it and it was 3/16 wide at 6 check points down the board.
I then cut a 3/16 piece off the side of it and it was square and 3/16 all the way down.
Who could ask for anything more. :D:D:D
Thanks to all for your great info and help...:D
