I think you may be having a BLADE problem. If the blade is tracking to one side it may have lost it's set on one side. Did you accidently hit a nail or something hard that took the set off one side? Did you run the blade blocks into the blade itself. If the blade is tracking on the wheels and all else is adjusted Ok, it is usually the blade itself. Before you give up, check the set on the blade, it should be equal on each side of the blade. Also be sure the tension is correct on the wheels.
If all fails - send it ton Numbskull - he can use it for his awsome curves......  |

Please refer to post #20  I know exactly what's up wid dat.
The sugfgestion that the set of the blade is bad is a good one. That was the first thing I looked for on mine. The bottom line here is blade quality and guide adjustment. |

The setup instructions for band saws can be found on the Delta website http://www.deltamachinery.com/. Register in order to access the Tips & Techniques section dealing with band saws. As Don mentioned, the guides aren't set properly, but you may have other problems. See the tips on resaw setup. |

Blade deflection is caused by 3 things,improper blade tension,improper guide adjustment and trying to force your workpiece thru the saw. Set your top guides as close to the workpiece as possible,your bottom guides as tight to the table as possible and allow the saw to cut and your problem should be solved.
The key is to minimize free space between the guides.
