Jet Bandsaw jwbs-16b
So I kinda got in over my head with troubleshooting my recently acquired 16”Jet bandsaw. While trying to figure out why I could not put a new blade I spoke with a guy from Rockler. I determined that it was due to the wheel not sliding down all the way. It was stuck. So I loosed a nut and that did indeed allow enough slack to slide on a new blade. But dumb me I at some point took the entire upper wheel off and now I can’t get everything thing reconfigured correctly. Basically I have the reverse problem, too much play and I can get the tension correct nor have it even close to calibrated with the blade tension indicator.
So, anyone out there with a jwbs-16 or 16b that can take a photo of the upper wheel showing what the screw looks like when fully loosened, (no tension), and post a pic or two?
This might help me to determine how to get everything dialed back in.
I’ve attached pictures of what I’m looking at if it helps.
TIA
