I don't know about the Yahoo group, but I just did the adjustments that were recommend in the video below and my band saw has been working like a champ.

Thanks. Mine is in need of some major TLC. I see it getting a little love this winter when the riding craze slows down just a little, I hope. Sure didn't last winter...
 
I have a 20 year old ENCO version of the popular cut off saw. It has given me good service for what it is. One odd problem I ran into early on when I bought some name brand blades for it is that very early in their life they would jam up in the cut because they were becoming curved across their width and trying to cut a circle. The problem was that the new blades were just a bit thicker than the original blade and the resulting extra compression from the guide bearings would cause the blade to take a curve. Loosened the bearings up a bit and all was well.
