I have a Grizzly 18" bandsaw (an older one from the late 90's I believe), and I'm resawing fingerboards and headstocks. I've noticed that I'm getting crooked cuts as my 3/4" Timberwolf blade gets older (probably 500-750 linear feet of hardwood cutting and half of that resawing).
During yesterday's workday we spent around 20 minutes tuning the saw (blade tension plenty tight, guides with the dollar bill, only the teeth extending past the guides) and it still won't cut straight. I have the drift in my fence (Kreg) maxed out which is about 15* right and that's still not enough.
Last time this happened I put a new blade on and problem solved. This saw requires lots of adjusting to keep the guides set right for different heights on the blade guide/guard but we keep up with it pretty religiously. I'd really like to get a better bandsaw at some point, but this one is the one for now.
But, from what I just said, would others agree that the blade is the problem? Should I be getting more than what I'm getting out of blade use?
