Craftsman band saw

Here is a downloadable copy of the manual if it should be a Craftsman model. http://www.shopyourway.com/manuals/26157?brand_name_search=119.224000

What is the model of your band saw? Try to check on bandsawmanuals.com if they have a manual available for your band saw.

Try replacing the belt on your band saw. Check and verify the pulleys are the right size and properly aligned.

The manual says that it will support blade widths from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch. You can use 80" or 80 1/2" band saw blade. I got my band saw blade on sawblade.com . I like them .

I think you need a specialist to answer your questions and can give you some options. You may want to give a call to www.sawblade.com . You can contact this 201-450-9810 or visit to their website . Hope that helps.

You may look up to ebay or search on google. I actually order band saw parts with www.bandsawparts.com but I think they don't have the miter gauge for your bandsaw model.

Not you brand but this might help solve your problem.

How To Bandsaw Tracking Coplaner Adjustment

Hello'
I have the exact same saw. It sounds like the key stock came out of the pulley attached to the lower wheel. I will give you a quick rundown.
-unplug saw
-you will have to lay the saw on its side so you can remove the motor and drive belt.
-there are 2 seperate pulleys , the one connected to the motor and the one connected to the bottom wheel.
-loosen motor nuts and remove motor, pay close attention when removing motor 3 of the 4 studs have sleeve like spacers.
-once motor and belt are out of the way check the pulley on the bottom wheel,my guess is that the key stock came out and the pulley spins freely.
-loosen set screw,replace keystock and tighten.
-NOTE the keystock may have came out of the motor pully instead,check.

Now this next part is real important.
-once you get it figured out and are ready to put everything back together the 2 pulleys must be perfectly lined up, use a flat ruler, using your eye will not work.line the drive pulley up with the lower pulley. ( the pulley on the motor has a shoulder on it so when it is pushed towards motor it will be set in the right spot) .

It is either the pulley on the motor or the wheel that has lost its keystock.

It should be a easy fix,Good luck

I have a 10" table top bandsaw and i need to replace the drive belt. Can't find a manual for this and don't know the size of the belt.
