Hello all,

I recently got a new bandsaw–a Grizzly G0457–based on its great review in Fine Woodworking Magazine (http://www.grizzly.com/products/14-2-HP-Deluxe-Bandsaw/G0457).

I set up the bandsaw and have worked with it a fair amount but the blade “waves” back and forth no matter what wood I am cutting or how I am cutting it. It also turns corner poorly, almost as it hits the grain patterns. I have attempted to adjust blade tension and alignment, but can’t seem to make an improvement. I am using the blade that came with the saw.

Could this just be a blade quality issue?

Is anyone able to offer some help?

Thanks,
Mike
