: My understanding is most bandsaws don't hae the blade tight enough. This is
: the cause of the wanderer. I watched a video recently that said when you
: pluck the blade it should make a musical tone. The tone had guy on the
: video had was an "A". They were using the bandsaw for resawing.

There was a story in Fine Woodworking about bandsaws, use a 1/4 bi metal blade and set the tension as tight as you can. Most smaller saws can not pulla 3/4" blade tight. I also have the 80" blade Sears and the good bi metal are hard to find. The now closed local tool store had them, will now have to buy them from sharpening shop that does industrial big stuff in Hawthrone Ca, Anderson Saw
