I agree James, it¡¯s just that I really like the bandsaw and this one is not performing. I¡¯m hoping that it¡¯s just me that can not fine tune this machine.?

At least, I do not know. IMO, the bandsaw is not really a precision machine,

Is there not a way to adjust the parallelism of the post??

I have to say the post is not 100% parallel in the whole range. Tightening the knob definitely tilts the steel post slightly.
James?

But is the post through the whole range parallel?

Mark,
There is not too much room to adjust the ceramic?guide after the knob is overtightened. Yes, the ceramic guide is parallel to the blade.
Slightly tightening the knob does not affect the quality of the cut.

Jay,
I am not sure what you mean about the upper guide clamp.
What I found is over-tightening the knob in the picture below pushes the steel guide with the attached ceramic guide to the left, which pushes the blade to the left. So I make sure not to overtighten the knob.?

After changing the wheel, bearings, tire, etc... the only thing that improved the vibration was to not tighten the upper guide clamp.? The recorded video posted was with the clamp tight. ? It is far less when you loosen the screw. ? The tech said that he would check for this on the one they had in the shop and later responded that it was the same. ??
The performance is barely acceptable and will live it for the time being.? It is a good thing I have a drum sander.?
I am glad to hear that you do not have the problem, I wish I could figure out the problem. ? The technician and I worked on the bandsaw for 8 hours, no success.
