Okay,
I'm having trouble with my bandsaw cutting my logs into bowl blanks. The logs are split and 8" - 10" thick. When I try to cut the logs into circles, the blade pulls to the right and starts to bind. The bottom of the blade gets twisted more than the top. I even built a circle cutting jig, but it make no difference. I still get deflection and binding.
My bandsaw is the Delta 14" and it is tweaked for proper blade alignment. It has new thrust bearings and co-planar wheels.
I just bought a new 1/2" blade to see if this helps.
Anyone have any other ideas why this is happening?
