I finally got around to installing my Woodmaster blade onto my Minimax S600 and was fiddling around with adjusting the Carter Micro-Precision guides on my saw. I was following the Snodgrass youtube video steps.
1. Tension off blade
2. Blade gullet approx center of top wheel
3. Tension blade - I went to 25,000
4. Adjust tilt of top wheel to keep blade tracking in same spot
5. I had top guide half way up from the table and got both the top and bottom guides adjusted so everything was about a couple thousands apart.
So I'm fat dumb and happy and go to move the top guide all the way to the top and then to the bottom and I notice there is a significant gap between the blade and the bearing with the guide bottomed out on the table (greater than 1/4"). It seems as if the blade is angled from the top to the bottom wheel. I've let the saw run for a minute after tensioning it before adjusting the guides to make sure the blade wasn't going to move on the wheels.
Any thoughts about what I need to adjust?
Thanks,
Dave
