Thanks Jim,

New blade is supplied by reputable supplied who supplies blades to statewide sawmills to run in our hardwoods.

Most of the wood we cut is pretty hard but I started a few months back cutting up a a pine log and it seemed no different.


RE: Position of blade on wheels/tyres.

The tyres are 1" wide V-belts and the band is 2" wide.

On my home WW bandsaw I run the bottom of the blade gullets almost in the middle of the tyre, but I didn't seem to need to do that before when I used the BS mill.

I've tried moving the blade on the wheels so that the edge of the wheel/tyre is within 1/16" of the gullet but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

If I move the gullets  even closer to the wheel edge the back of the blade strikes the inside of the Band guard.
