Delta Bandsaw problems?

Hi Mark,

I do it under power. I never felt that doing it by hand really did anything.

Or maybe the tires.

Jay,
When you check the tracking, do you do that under power with the blade
guides withdrawn?
I have met a few folks who only check tracking by turning the wheels
by hand. I wonder if your upper bearing may be worn.

And you'll likely only need to do it once.

Often the most tedious and feared procedure in the woodshop: The
complete bandsaw tuneup. If you go through all the steps (and use a
slow-feed rate) you'll get a good cut.
