I have a Jet 14†band saw with a 6†riser block. I am experiencing a problem and hope you can help.
I just replaced a blade because it got caught while in was in the middle of a cut and kinked ruining the blade. So I replaced the blade with a new blade and I am experiencing the same sort of problem. When I cut small stock of wood (2-3â€Â) no problem! But when I cut wood 8-10†there is a banging noise. The wood is seems to be getting slammed into the table and occasionally the blade stops/get caught or hung during the cut. I have checked everything on the saw and everything appears to be in correct position. I wonder if the tension on the blade is correct? I have loosened the tension until the blade vibrated slightly then tightened it up ½ turn. Still the problem continues. I need my fingers and hands and do not wish to have an accident. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vince
