One way I've found to look at the wheel position and tracking is to use a bit of thin string (braided fishing line is ideal) instead of the blade.? Make a loop ~62" long (a bit smaller than the 641/2" std blade loop length so you can stretch it some when tensioning) and position it in the middle of the land?where the blade runs on the bandwheels.? Tension it up quite tight and see where it passes through the guides. It should be where the middle of the blade runs and not touching either side guide roller and should be clear of the back support roller by about 1/4".??

I bet you it's not!?

That would work well provided the string was positioned centered on the wheels Another problem with my saw was that the blade guides did not have enough adjustment. I milled one of the slots a bit wider to get it closer. I'm guessing my blade is still deflected down maybe and 1/16" but it's close enough that it doesn't cause any problems. If all these saws were made the same, a person could? design an after market blade guides but I'm guessing there is a lot of variations. With properly designed blade guides setup would be super easy! Picture this!?

1) Get the blade tracking correctly
2) install the guides with zero blade deflection and the top bearing just touching the back of the blade.
3) then rotate into position.?

It would easy to design but hard to make it fit all saws.?
