While attempting to adjust my JET 18" bandsaw per duginske's recommendations, I quickly realized that the frame of the saw doesn't allow room to place a straightedge/level against both wheels at the same time to check that they are vertical and coplanar. I tried using a smaller level on each individual wheel and comparing the measurements but I'm afraid this isn't too accurate. What do ya'll recommend for making these adjustments. The only thing I can figure is to cut a piece of plywood to accomodate the overhang in the frame and use it as a straightedge. Any better ideas? Thanks!!!
