This is exactly right. Search for "Bandsaw Tuning" and you will find lots of info. Even with a perfectly tuned saw each blade (because of twist, tooth set, sharpness) will want to cut in a lead of its own choosing. Once you have tuned your saw you simply cut a piece of thick wood and figure out the blade's lead, then clamp or adjust you fence parallel to this. Unless you are trying to slice veneer, however, you are better off just cutting freehand on a small bandsaw.
