- How to: EASY AND FAST way to adjust a band saw blade accurately . (Works on all band saws) Subscribe for weekly videos. A subscriber of mine messaged me and said he has the same band saw and is having issues with getting the blade to stay on track/level. so I told him i would do a quick video on how i get mine to stay on track/level.. this could be for anyone who owns the porter cable 14" band saw and is having the same problem..thanks for watching
Very helpful I mess with my bandsaw for at least an hour trying to make an adjustment here just in there and you made it pretty simple. Thank you.
Glad it helped & saved you time! Thanks for watching and commenting i appreciate the support!
Nice! Instuctions for mine showed using a 4 foot level to line up both wheels. This is how I learned that my bottom wheel was mounted half an inch offset from the top one. From the factory. It took a deal of shimming and adjusting to get them right.
i guess i should read the manuals haha cuz thats a good way to do it...prolly the correct way.;) thanks for watching and the fyi!🖒💥
My take on that is, if it works, it works. You have a good tip there.
Wood Tools Workshop exactly..:) thanks so do u..tbh i tried urs today and wheels were the same..so id say they both work.🖒🖒
I have this same saw and added a riser designed for a similar Jet model. I had tracking issues and just attributed it to the riser adjustments.
Following your video solved my problem, thank you!
Michael Warren awesome man!! im glad this helpd you. that's what its all about! and hey,thanks for watching and the comment 🖒🖒appreciate it
Hey just got done doing the adjustment I got the top wheel level. And I checked it after I turned it on and let it run a minute or two. And it stayed on track so far so good. I ain't cut nothing since I adjusted it but I tightened the tracking knob real good after I got the wheel level. So I think it should stay there really appreciate the info Joe. Thanks buddy
awesome brother glad i could help!!🖒
Problem resolved thanks very much ……new subscriber from Itali 🇮🇹🇨🇦….buona giornata

Hi Joe my bandsaw comes of track all the time. So I’m going to try and do what you said. I have a Draper bandsaw I will keep you up to date when I’ve done what you said sender mark..
Hey Mark I hope it works for you and yes keep me posted let me know how it works out love to hear feedback from viewers thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate the support
Nice tip Joe. Never thought to use a level when setting up the blade.
thanks bro. someone suggested to use a 4ft level to align both wheels at once..thats coming from a manual..i dont read thise though..lol but i guess both ways wood work..cuz a centered bubble is a centered bubble;)
Thanks I inherited one from my father in law, and I'm trying to figure out how to get that sucker to quit falling off. This should be what I wasn't understanding!
Glad/hope it helps ya out! And thanks for watching and commenting appreciate the support!

got the sticker today..gonna be sending a batch out on monday..thanks bro
Very cool - I'm starting to have a good second batch.
Shogun-Jimi thats whats up..i liked the shutterfly..haha
Going to try this thanks
The top wheel IMO is best tilted so blade tracks with blade gullet center on crown of wheel for best blade support without drift. Of course there is also the tilt of wheels side to side often missed at factory on cheaper saws .If your getting wobble which is front to back movement of blade then that is off. Remember its different than flutter which is tension related side to side movement.
David Davis what type of band saw do u own David? I've had mine for like 2 yrs and haven't had any problems with it but I'm always up for sugg./opinions on how to do things. that what it all about. thanks for watching and commenting man appreciate it
I have a 14 inch Sears with Carter micro adjust guides. Look for Carter's Snodgrass video on band saw setup ;he explains and demonstrates same setup. Get cross cuts with miter and rips with fence with no drift is what I found with his setup.
David Davis nice! I'll definitely check that out..thanks for fyi
Oops just saw Davids post after posting mine. Think you explained it better, couldn't get my head round the need for a spirit level. Wouldn't work for me anyway as my hut sits on a 1in 25 gradient............😜
That was A great Video Mate. Great Tip and a very good tutorial. Nice One. :) Thank you for sharing..
thanks terry! a lil fri quickie..haha I had more footage and then I remembered he just needed to know how to get the blade to stay on track thanks for watching man
Joe basementwoodworking Your very Welcome. You did Great..
Hi what if your shop floor is not level you would have to level the floor to get a true reading with your spirit level just thought i would mention it
george matthews my saw came with a stand that has adjustable rubber feet . to level it off I just screw or un screw each foot until its level then do the blade. if u dont have a stand with adjustable feet id suggest looking into something like that or you could always use shims underneath the stand that you have your saw on.hope that helps!🖒..
cool tip man ,I have the world's worse bandsaw ,I'll have to try this and see if it helps ,thanks
thanks bro..yea it works for me everytime i need to re adjust..someone mentioned using a 4ft level amd line up the top and bottom wheel..have.t done that cuz this works and is easier and faster..hope it works for ya man!
Use a lawnmower blade balance Jig. A metal cone on a point. Hardware Store has them.
Nice video Bro, very helpful. Subbed
Awesome! glad It helped ya out! that's why I do videos. I appreciate your support -thanks for watching and commenting and subscribing!
Good idea Joe.
thanks jack!much appreciated
great vid dude.. make this look easy!
thanks bro..hope it helps the guy who asked and anyone who is having same issues.. I guess it could apply to any bandsaw thanks for watching brother always appreciate your support
Nice tip Joe!
thanks man and thanks for watching and the support
assuming the table/floor is level that works great.
Thank you very Much Joe great video
hope it help bro...lmk if it does...
thank you for the information i have a band saw at home when i try to rip or cut a block of wood the blade tend to push the block of wood a way from the fence and not cutting straight could explain to me why is doing that thank you
ahmed alsayyed your welcome!🖒 hope it helps..it gets aggravating when the blade drifts or comes off track..and thanks for watching and commenting appreciate the support
Ive had tht happen try not too push too hard let the blade and saw do the work and also check the tension of ur blade it could be too much or not enough and its causing the wood to "drift" off and not cut straight. Could also be the blade type ,tpi (tooth per inch) And size of the blade. I hope tht helps you. ik this comment is old but I feel like I didn't reply back very well and I wanted to give a better answer to ur question.
The floor in this is if your bench or floor is not level then you can not possibly get a true running wheel since the level will always level to gravity and not to your bench.
Yes tht is true if the floor is not level it doesn't matter what u do everything else will be off.. everything in my shop is leveled from the ground up. Thanks for added tip & for watching & commenting appreciate the support
thanks for that had mine for 3 days now and was getting tossed out the window very frustrating
Glad it helped you that's what they're here for to help and inspire thanks for watching and the comment appreciate the support

Robert E. Lee / Bob Lee's woodshop awesome..will do..glad it was useful and helped ya..thats what its all about!!🖒💥
Nice level tip Joe. Can you put a spring washer, before that back butterfly nut ? that could solve the problem of loose ?
thats a good idea🖒🖒 have to remember that when i go to the hardware store..thanks Daniel:] does this thing always ends up coming loose no matter how hard I crank on it
My problem on my portable metal bandsaw is that the wheel which is attached to the motor the blade is way out!!! do you know what I could do with that ?
Good tip bro very nice my friend :)
thanks tj and thanks for watching and the comment man
No problem bro i watch all your videos man :)
TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP awssome!-thanks forbthe support much appreciated 👊
And i put your videos on my Facebook 2 my friend :)
+TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP thanks brother thats awesome!!🖒🖒💥
Level is only starting point- turn blade my hand 4 times and check tracking-**final micro trcking is done with band saw running . DR Kel
you didnt mention which direction the adjustment knob should be turned for front or back alignment. Clockwise turning results in what change of direction on the blade?
On mine turning knob Clockwise will tilt the wheel forward..I guess I missed that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
hey man I don't know whats going on with my bandsaw. I got the top wheel and bottom where coplanar. but the saw blade wants to come off at the back on the top and at the front on the bottom...
Joey Cape hey what's up man thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate your support . I would check the Tension. Sounds like it's a little loose. Hope that helps lmk if it doesn't and well figure it out 👍
It's easy. Adjust the tracking.
My Ryobi 10 inch band saw blade starts to veer off course from a straight cut, what should i do.
What type of wood are you cutting? And what type of Blade like how many teeth per inch are you using? Both of those play a factor Also, you might be. Trying to push the wood. Through the blade too fast. Or Tension might need to be adjusted I'd start with using less speed and force and go from there but the blade TPI is EVERYTHING! Hope that helps ya and thanks for watching and commenting appreciate your support
I just thought of this I always use a 3/16" 4-8 tpi hook tooth blade good for curves but if ur just making straight cuts I'd go with at least a 1/2" blade with more tpi.
I have the same saw from Lowes. After assembly my blade in nowhere near the center of the table insert. I've done all of the adjuments I can find, and the saw seems to cut ok, but I don't understand why the blade is so off center. Any suggestions?
Richard Krapf yes mine was the same way..b4 making a wooden one with zero clearance I took a file to the plastic insert to make the opening wider..hope that helps /fixes ur issue and thanks for watching and for the comment I appreciate your support. I would suggest making a wooden one out of some type of hard wood though that Way there's no flex and will last longer I e had the same wooden one in since I made it. I used walnut
Same problem here. Is this a manufacturer's issue? Adjusted blade and tension. Insert pushes blade slightly. So widening the opening of the insert is the way to go?
I did all this with my Delta 9 in. put new urethane wheel tires, new blade and my blade still keeps coming off. Any suggestions ? Thank U
Did you trr using the magnetic torpedo level to balance each wheel out ?
And wow this a year ago......reminder to self... get up to date...... might be too late at my age though.....
Mary Colville Haha! It's never to late!!😁 and ik time flies RIGHT?!? my daughter's going into college crazy how fast time flies!!Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate your support thanks
Joe Basement Woodworking & DIY ...Never mind that I just got reminded my granddaughter will be 20 next month. Talk about depressing. Won't be long before I'll need a walking frame to get down to work on me lathe.lololol
Good video....I do not have a band saw just yet...do you like yours?
thanks man!&yes i do like it plenty of power and has 6"resaw capacity which is good eniugh for me and what i do. only thing I did not like about it is it did not come with a fence you could buy the Kreg fence I've seen others using it but when I tried it the holes did not line up right and I did not want to drill any holes so I just made my own not a big deal thanks for watching preciate that support
perfect thanks excellent review..
Roomies Garage i could do a review on it..
you should do a quick one...I would watch it!
Roomies Garage cool man ..ill make that my next " whats what" video and give u a shout out🖒💥
The blade keeps coming off the wheel! It’s scary and upsetting. Im thinking the bottom wheel isn’t set correctly. Anyone else experience this?
Walnut dust! ;-)
lol! what else??;)
+Joe basementwoodworking I think you're a bad influence on me because that's the first thing that came to mind. Lol
Lyle Kobberstad are u talking about the brown on my bandsaw table? That is a cocobola insert i made. Itll last forever now. Vs 1/8"plywood. Sorry for the confusion if thays what u thought it was....??
+Joe basementwoodworking no, walnut dust to keep blade on track. Referring to you and the Junkies walnut dust banter. It's all in the dust. ;-)
+Lyle Kobberstad lol! ill have to try that now. thanks for the idea
I forgot this ,,,,a half inch blade is what I got on there to
NICE!! r u good to go?did it help??:]
Yea I think it's good now I ain't cut no boards yet but I tightened the tracking knob real good. And also I turned it on and let it run a couple minutes checked it. And it didn't move any thanks a lot Joe
***** sounds like ur on the right track"" (small joke)...very small..haha! Hey anytime man!-glad i could help🖒💥👊💥
Ec
.
I'm sorry but this is nonsense. The bottom wheel is factory set. It matters not one whit how the whole machine is set up, it could be on its side. There is no need for a spirit level on the top wheel. The top wheel does not line up with the bottom, that's what the adjustment screw at the back is for. It's offset at an slight angle to the bottom wheel to enable the bottom of the gullet of the teeth to sit in the centre of the wheel tyre.
Waits patiently for all the posters to say I'm wrong.......
You're wrong.
You are right.
Useless. most machines that small are not perpendicular to the floor, and the floor in most cases is also off angle. Fail.
Not true. It works .my floor is VERY uneven!LOL my saw is level on all 3 bubbles so u must be doing something wrong. all I do is adjust the adjustable rubber feet on the stand until the machine is lined up and then do what i did in the video for the wheels and blade..and most people ik have a 14" now a 9 or 10" that's SMALL and USELESS but thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate your support
It has nothing to do with the floor. It is the the tabel and the blade, obviously.
