    I recently bought a used 14" central machinery band saw (my first). I just went thru tuning it up and found that while the wheels aren't quite coplanar the new blade I installed tracks perfectly right down the middle of the upper tire. I removed the table and cleaned up and regreased the trunnions and then reinstalled the table. Squaring the table to the wide side of the blade is of course easy with the front to back tilt adjustment but when I brought my square right up to the front of the teeth on my new blade it is not close to square and there is no adjustment for this. So what do I do???

    You'll need to shim between the trunions and the bottom of the table. Flat washers may work, if they're the right thickness.
