Wheel alignment is one of the most critical factors for optimal performance from your bandsaw.

Heat, vibration, wandering, blade wear, tire wear, and overall bandsaw wear are considerably decreased when the wheels are properly aligned

or "coplanar".

To check if your wheels are parallel and copla- nar:

1.Make the "Coplanarity Gauge" shown in Figure 45.

Note: For best results, straighten the 2x4 with a jointer before cutting.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Remove the table assembly, then open both wheel covers.

4.Move the upper and lower blade guides and rear support away from the blade, then cor- rectly tension the blade for normal opera- tions.

5.Place your coplanarity gauge up against both wheels in the positions shown in Figure 46, making sure that the gauge fully extends across the wheels.

—If the wheels are parallel and coplaner (in the same plane), the gauge will evenly touch the top and bottom of both wheels and no further adjustments are necessary.

—If the wheels are NOT parallel or coplanar, continue with the following steps to bring both wheels into correct alignment with one another.
