Bill, I would put the saw on a solid base or even put it on a couple of 2 x 4’s for testing. ?During my testing, motor ran smooth by itself, and with belt on and lower wheel spinning. ? It even

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.

Thanks James. ? Maybe this brings peace of mind for me. ? I know that it is not a precision machine, but this should not be happening. ?The Felder tech was puzzled as well. Have a great evening,

Bill, if the wheel stopped at 12 a few times, I doubt the wheel is the main cause. I don't think a magnet will stay in place when under power and that could wreck your blade if it is thrown off. Can

Jay, I will try it and let you know tomorrow. James

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

James, That is the knob that I am talking about and it does move the guide to the side. ? I snug that knob down and adjust the guides accordingly. ? If i go to tight, then it vibrates as shown in

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

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

I do have this dial indicator for an A31 and find it useful and wonder if it really works on a K500 for the blade height. Let me explain: The OEM handwheels for a K500 blade height is not fixed to the

But is the post through the whole range parallel? Regards, Mark

Well material can be removed or added to balance. I would try a magnet first. I have never done this but the thought came to mind. Imran ? I spun the top wheel 13 times. 10 times it came to rest at

My “top guide” was rubbing on the top wheel. I bent it out a little. I would have expected that of a Rikon. Bill B

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

I spun the top wheel 13 times. 10 times it came to rest at 5-6-7 o’clock. 3 times it stopped at 12. How much weight and what type of weight would I use? Ran the motor alone, minimal vibration, not

One would hope the technician would know how to adjust the guides…

Adjusting the guides after the knob is tightened doesn’t work? Is the guide parallel to the blade? Regards, Mark

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

I stumbled across Mike's site when watching some Sam Blasco videos. http://michaelschuler.com/tech/ Dave Davies [email protected]> wrote: -- Dave & Marie Davies www.myfinishingtouch.com 318-219-7868

David, thanks for the feedback. I am familiar with that unit. ?What I like most about a radial drill press is the fact that the table does not move. ?I want to be able to set the height of the table
