My original blade broke so i bought a new blade from wickes 10tpi now when i use it i saw on the line i have marked but on the other side of the 2x2 it is about quarter to hallf inch out how can i make the saw straight . Many Thanks

Cupped (concave) side of flanges go toward each other. The convex side (smaller diameter) should clear the housing and seat against the bearing.

The parts list shows two different part numbers for the flanges. Measure the diameter of the convex center step of both flanges and if one is smaller than the other then the smaller one is likely the inner flange. If you have the original inner flange, measure an compare the diameter to the new one.

If you can feel the knocking as well as hear it, it should be taken apart and examined, but before you do that it would be wise to cover the obvious things - like a part of the broken blade being stuck in the external mechanism, the new blade not being identical to the original or one of the fixing screws not going fully home...

You might find it helpful to listen to the knocking through a rod or a piece of hose if a stethoscope isn't available to discover more precisely the area it originates.

The shoulders on the washers have to be properly aligned with the hole in the saw blade so the nut can tighten properly. Are the washers turned the right way? Try flipping one or both the opposite direction.

clean dust off the wheels, center the blade get it tracking and tension it so it has a medium high to (wide blade) high pitch (narrow blade) twang like a guitar sting when plucked with the saw turned off

be sure to use eye protection and gloves to protect you from sharp edges.
first mark your lines on the door using a square, then drill holes large enough for the sawzall blade to fit through in all 4 corners. next use the sawzall to cut your straight lines which were alraedy marked and you now the opening you need. if necessary use a file or dremel tool to clean up and debur edges. hope this was helpful, if so please rate.

Band saws pull to one side on straight cuts, it's a function of the blade torque. My 14" saw pulls to the right. There's nothing you can do to stop this, you have to be aware of it so you account for it on free cuts and know to put your fence on that side so the wood pulls into the fence instead of away from it. Squaring the blade to the table is easier. Do not go by the tilt angle guide. First make absoutely sure all of your blade guides and bearings are properly alligned so they aren't pushing the blade out of line. Use a square to get it close then: using a 4" x 4" block of wood, make a light cut in the wood only deep enough to mark the wood from top to bottom. Turn the block over 180 and try to make a cut in the previous cut mark. If the cuts line up you're there. If you get a V or X you have to make adjustments to the table making sure you tighten the trunion locks tight. I had one of these, it's not a high end saw so don't expect a lot from it.

I do a lot of resawing with mine and I have found that a 3/8" wide blade gives me nice straight cuts.

It sounds like you need to replace the shaft.

Use a pencil and straight edge to mark the cutting line on the wood. Place the wood on the saw table and line the mark up with the saw. Place the mark on the right side of the blade to ensure proper cutting. Plug the saw in and put on your safety goggles. Support the wood on the work surface with your left hand, placing it far from the saw blade. Place your right hand on the handle, and push the trigger to start the saw. Move the saw blade down onto the wood. Put constant pressure on the handle to slowly move the blade through the wood. Release the trigger and raise the blade once the cut is complete. Make diagonal cuts in the same manner, by marking the wood and lining the mark up just to the right of the saw blade. Continue as you would for a straight cut. Remove the wood from the saw. Unplug the chop saw and dust the sawdust off. Remove the dust bag from the back and empty it. Vacuum any remaining dust off of the saw.
