I can't speak for these little saws, but on full sized bandsaws blade tracking is much more about saw alignment, guide adjustment, and blade tension, than blade width. Generally, the smaller the saw the less tension it can produce so the smaller the blade the better off you are. |

Why the need for a key that slides in the miter slot AND the bolt that slides in the blade slot?
Also, when the diameter of the plug changes the centerline to the rear changes as well. Smaller plugs will have an angled lip slot. Not much but some.
Nice idea non the less.

Good questions... the screw in the blade slot keeps the jig from falling off the table....look Ma no hands...
the tail stocks are interchangeable, thus compensating for the height difference... |
