The Starrett blades are now in a landfill somewhere, or wherever old bits of metal go to get recycled. On the saw I had prior to the one I have now, the problem was worn bearings and bushings. I replaced the ball bearings on the shaft for the drive wheel and bored out the driven wheel to press in a bronze bushing I'd bored to fit the non-rotating shaft. First I did the bushing, originally it just had the iron bore. When that didn't stop the blades coming off I replaced the bearings on the drive wheel. It only had a very slight amount of wobble but that was enough once the blade was tensioned. No more problems with blades popping off once the wheels were held parallel to each other. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: [Emc-users] OT-bandsaw
Dave, I don't know what kind of bandsaw you have, but I have several bandsaws and all of them have a means of tilting one of the wheels (usually the non-driven idler wheel ). If your wheel bearings are good, then it is likely that your one wheel needs to be tilted to track the blade. The other thing that can throw off blades is either an improperly welded blade, or the tire (the rubber strip) on the drive wheel and or idler wheel is shot and needs to be replaced. The wheels should appear to be crowned when looking at them. The crown tends to self center the blade onto the wheel. Finally if this is happening on a horizontal saw, the guides that twist the blade can throw the blade off also. Check their alignment. The saw should not throw off the blades with the guides removed (no twisting of the blade).

As far as I can tell the blade works its way off the non-driven wheel. I suspect the guides (ball bearings) are at fault but will entertain other reasonable ideas. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. Dave Probably either the tire on the idler wheel is shot, the bearings in it are fini, or more likely, the idler wheels tilt in miss adjusted, whatever. That will be as critical to align as it is with any other bandsaw, wood or metal. Since in those saws, the guide bearings also serve to twist the blade a few, maybe 30 degrees, I could see the bearing itself wearing out internally which would allow the bearing to tilt in a direction that would walk it off the idler too, so your idea is not an impossibility, however I'd tend to think a bearing worn and tilted to that degree would be pretty obvious. Test: back the guide bearings off so they aren't touching the blade. If it stays on the wheels then, running in the center of the tire on both wheels, then the wheels are in usable alignment. If it still runs off, try a fresh blade, that one could be distorted, and use that fresh blade to adjust the idler wheel tilt till it does run true. Somewhere in this testing, it should become obvious whats wrong. Feel those guide bearings to see if they still roll smooth before you bring them back to the blade, and can't be noticeably tilted on their own little axles, if they turn rough, or can be tilted a few degrees, new ones time. A metal cutting bandsaw is about the roughest service I can imagine. And that guide enforced twist in the blade has got to be hell on the blade over extended run times. Metal fatigue has got to be a factor in blade life. Proper tension is probably only half what it could be if the blade wasn't being twisted. I cut alu and brass, using std fine toothed, several per inch anyway, wood blades in a 12 Craftsman tilting head saw, using koolblock guides, and have found it works well given enough patience since that tilthead frame has a lot of give that motor is under powered, but in 6 thick alu it gets the job done and I've only broken one blade in probably 15 feet of such cutting as I nibble off pieces of that huge, was 40lbs at one time, block of alu. Obviously a block of paraffin for jelly sealing is kept handy to lube the sides of the blade with.
