Hi,
I just purchased my first bandsaw. It's Craftman 10" and I just finished putting it together and have few questions.
The blade tracks on center of the upper wheel but it's slights off center on bottom wheel. I spun the wheel via hand several times and turned on the bandsaw to cut some thin spruce and the upper track and bottom remained the same as when I started.
Does it matter that blade on bottom wheel is not centered as long as belt on top wheel is centered?
What happens if your belt comes off the wheel while bandsaw is being used??? Can you get seriously injured?
This is my first major power tool and I need to know or what I'm going to need to use for dust collection. Does it need one? If so, what do you guys recommend?
thanks, David
