  • Good video

  • I'm not going t say something mean because its nice that someone even takes the time to make a video to help "beginners" learn a little about machines. What I am going to say is that tuning up/adjusting a band saw is a bit more involved than what this video provides. That said, thanks for confirming some of the adjustments mentioned in my instruction manual for my new Grizzly G0555 band saw.

  • Is there any way that I can put a filter on so that I never see any of these non-expert village videos.

  • That was helpful thinks no I can try to figure out what is wrong with mine

  • Why are expert village videos ALWAYS so fukn terrible???

    "Yeah, there's these hardwood blocks" ok... HOW SHOULD THEY BE ADJUSTED???

    Another "Expert" Village FAIL

  • This video needs to be redone. It is really sad that you did not show bandsaw tracking adjustment. You show a shot of the back of the saw, did not even put your hand on the knob to use, did not show inside the cover, did not spin the wheels by hand so show how adjustment would move the location of the blade. Less is not more in this case.

  • Oh.... Over hours of search I found the answer, it was right in my face. I thought that read mark was for something to mark it when it was at the factory, I feel quite stupid.
