Re: New Bandsaw Won't cut curves

Thanks for the suggestions.

I am using the blade that came with the riser block kit, It is a 3/8"
x 105" x 6 TPI blade. I am not sure who is making them for Grizzly but
their site claims it is made in the USA.

Interesting that you say you test without the guides in place. I
always thought that was a no/no.

I just double checked all of the alignments on the BS and everything
looks fine. Table is is square and plumb to the blade, the wheels are
coplaner and the blade is ridding on the crown of the wheel.

I don't have another blade to test with so, I'll stop and pick up one
from the local Woodcraft store tomorrow. This is my second BS, I
originally had a 12" Delta but it was underpowered for what I want to
do. I wouldn't call myself a begginer but I am definitly not a season
verteran on the BS.

You stated in an earlier post that you were able to cut a straight line
with the blade. You did better than I did with the blade that came with
the Grizzly kit for my G1019. A good blade solved my problems. When I
ordered the kit a Grizzly tech support person suggested I purchase my
blades from someplace other than Grizzly.
