Today I accidently ran across the program on TV named "How It's Made". The subject was on the manufacture of band saws.
At one point in the very sketchy information was they showed a very interesting jig that was used to get the wheels into "coplane" and went on to say how very important coplane is.
I recall a video that I watched on youtube in regard to setting up a hight end BS, don't recall the make right now, but there was much emphasis placed on getting the wheels into coplane.
Then ther is Alex Snodgrass who I put all of my faith in that says to leave you BS wheels they came from the factory as the people that make the saws know what they are doing.
My 17" Grizzly's wheels are not even close to being in coplane and saw works beautifully.
Now, I'm just making a statement, I'm not asking a question, just thought that it is rather interesting that some people that should know put so much emphasis on the issue and others, in this case Grzzly Tools does not hold to the same thinking.
