I mostly use my bandsaw for curved work, but recently I wanted to resaw a couple of thick boards, and having a new 1/2" blade on hand set up the fence to do so.
The cut went fine for 3 or 4 inches, then the top started to drift toward the fence, while the bottom stayed in line. This of course twisted the blade and bound everything up.
Freehand the blade cuts fine, and doesn't seem to display any lead angle. So I am a little mystified why it has a problem with the fence, and why it drifts at the top of the cut and not the bottom.
This is a Delta 14", not the ideal saw for resawing but as I say I rarely do so, cutting stock about 5-1/2, with the top guide set barely clear of the wood.
For want of any better explanation, I'm thinking I need to angle the fence, but since there doesn't seem to be any lead when cutting freehand, I'm not sure how to figure out how much to angle it.
