I'm fairly new to woodworking and have been lurking here for almost a year. I just bought a Griz G0555 bandsaw with the riser block. Although the reviews here in the ng were mixed, in all they seemed positive.
My problem is with getting everything lined up to make a straight cut. It seems that no matter what I do, the workpiece wanders from the fence. It seems that the only way I can get close to a straight cut is to draw a line and freehand it. I am using a 3/4" 6 hook blade that was purchased from Grizzley.
Can someone provide a step-by-step procedure for properly setting up the saw?
I have some black walnut logs (24" dia x 24 to 36" long) that I have quartered and am trying to cut into usable lumber to make a coffee table and some end tables.
thanks,
