Here's 2 videos that'll definitely help:
1. Setting up and tuning your new bandsaw.
2. Cutting Bandsaw Veneer sheets (if you can cut veneer, it's definitely cutting straight )

PS: Don't blame me if you spend a few days watching the other videos in that site.

My post from 1-11-07

I went through the same thing when I bought my bandsaw.

You have 2 sets of guide blocks, one set is above the table the other set is below. You need to loosen the machine screws on both sets and push the blocks in towards the blade. You want the space between the blocks and the blade to be about the thickness of a dollar bill.
Also, you have 2 thrust bearings that face the back of the blade. One is above the table, the other is below. You want to push them in towards the back of the blade, close but not touching
.

I hope this helps.
