If you are using a wide blade, you will not get the teeth gullet in the centre of the top wheel, but certainly back enough to set up the guides correctly and as already mentioned, the position on the bottom wheel is not important and will not be in the same line. Hi Arnold,for starters, the blade you have been using is probably ruined and may not track correctly as the teeth would have been damaged.



The thing is I don't want to buy the replacement guides.Any advice and some pics of your saw if possible please!Regards. For me to brjng the blade forward on the wheel to avoid the set being worn away by the guides could cause other issues?If anyone else has this same band saw, how have you managed over this issue. In watching some top guys you tubes on setting up a band saw, they say the location of the blade on the tyre means the lowest point in the bay of the teeth, should be in the centre of the wheel/tyre. It's just about 4mm to far forward.I think the only way around this is to bring the blade forward on the tyres.
