This looks awesome. Wonder how big a rock it will cut? Think I will stick with a slab saw for that and use this as a kick ass trim saw. Would just like something to clean up some bigger rocks before slabbing
The bottom wheel is free spinning so I am guessing the polyurethane band has come off. You can purchase a Band Kit to replace missing/damaged bands and bushings.
Most importantly...DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BOTTOM WHEEL, THIS SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN FACTORY SET. First thing I would check is the band on the wheel. Both the bottom and top wheels have a polyurethane bands on/over them that keeps a grip on the blade, these bands are thin and transparent so perhaps the band has come off due to age. You can purchase a replacement Band Kit to refit the wheels if they are still in good condition or a complete Upper or Lower Wheel that come complete. If this is not the case and you can't get the blade to stabilize using the instructions in this video, it is highly likely that your blade is slightly bent/out of round and needs to be replaced.
Within a month our saws lower pulley had lost outward tilt. I loosened the plastic backing nut 7/16 size(it is snug but just wiggle the wrench onto it and back it off). Grab the knurled head of the plastic threaded bolt and turn till you see the pulley tilting outward a bit. Hold the knurled head of the bolt tightly and snug up the backing nut and put blade back on and adjust top tension if needed.
Thank you this video saved or ended a couple hours of headache...
Thank you!

great video.....
Should the bottom wheel be rotating freely? Having an issue with my machine. Drive wheel is working but the blade isn't moving with the wheel.

My blade will not stay on the bottom track what should I do
