Thanks

[@CompassCustomCreations]

I keep watching Alex and his alignment steps (I'm a real quick forgetter!). I am amazed every time that I follow his method how quick it is to get excellent results! Now I have the 6 steps printed and stuck to the inside of my bandsaw!

Thanks. I have an old Sears 12". About 50 years old. It's served me well, but with your tips, it should even do better. Thanks again.

*ALEX* is there a benefit from using a grinding stone to round over the back blade edge?

[@danqarious4733]

.... What if I don't have a thrust bearing?

Hi, question. I just purchased a Laguna 14/12. With a 1/4” blade. I’ve watched your bandsaw setup videos several times. But the tires are wide. So where should I place the blade?

Hi there, the deepest part of the gullet should always be in the center of the wheel. Linked to this reply is Alex's Step by Step process for your reference.

@CarterProducts Thank you. I got confused b/c i was basing it off of the tire. And not the actual wheel. My experience is based upon my 9" Porter Cable.
