my dads band saw blade keeps slipping out of the pullies and scares the crap outa me. what kind of blades are u running and how to avoid that from happening?

[nostalgia75]

I'm running Timberwolf blades. It sounds like you need to adjust the wheels. The top wheel should tilt in and out to adjust where the blade runs on it. You want the blade running at the top of the crown on the tires.

Hey that's a pretty cool technique there... I saw capneddie (his youtube channel) show the round blanks off a while back.A great tool for all wood turners!
