[Woodcarver] Moving adjustment screw on top wheel of bandsaw

[TWWOODWORK at aol.com]

"Only trouble  am having is getting the screw which changes the area  of the 
top wheel for leveling as well as making the blade move so that is   
centered.."
 
If you are having difficulty moving the screw/bolt that adjusts the upper  
wheel on your bandsaw, be sure that you have loosened the lock nut on the  
screw/bolt. This nut will be under the head of the screw/bolt and snugged up  
against the bandsaw housing. 
    Once the blade is tracking correctly to keep the  screw/bolt from moving 
and to lock it in place, you need to tighten the bolt  that is under the 
screw/bolt and usually snugs up against the bandsaw  case/housing.
    To begin, I have to loosen the lock nut on my  bandsaw and then I can 
move the screw/bolt in and out till I get the blade to  track in the middle of 
the wheel. Once it is tracking correctly, I to go back  and tighten the lock 
nut, check the blade again to be sure it is still tracking  correctly. After 
that, I leave it alone.
    Always check the tracking of the blade with the  power off. I unplug mine 
for safety. I turn the wheel by hand with a glove  on. I like to cut wood, 
not flesh with my bandsaw.
    Hope this helps.
