Great vid and these tips are great for a lot of bandsaws, but owners of a SHOPSMITH bandsaw need to be aware that their saw is unique in that there is no adjustment for blade tracking and their wheels aren't crowned, as you mention early in your vid at 0:10. The Shopsmith Bandsaw is designed so that every blade runs near the back of the wheel and against a pair of "Auto-Track" bearings that are in the arm of the saw. and there is no tilt adjustment on the back of the saw at all. Likewise, the thrust bearings below and above the table aren't adjustable forward and back because they don't need to be; all blades run to the back and against the bottom thrust bearing at all times, and if the saw is properly aligned, just ahead of the upper bearing. It's pretty sweet, actually. Scott

It is easy to adjust the top wheel because it has an adjustment but you didn't say anything about the bottom wheel.... What if the blade is not quite running correctly towards the middle of the tire on the bottom wheel??

Not sure what bandsaw you have since you didn't say. You can check the supplement to Rikon 10-325 at their support site and see if your lower wheel has same adjustment on bearing as to tracking on lower blade. Keep in mind the lower blade does not need to be center perfectly. I run my top with gullt centered which required lower adjustment with widest blade to not be slightly off the tire. This was misadjustment at chienese factory.

my top wheel holds the blade on the right part but the bottom one has the blade way too close to the outer edge, Is this normal?

It doesn't matter where the blade is on the bottom wheel as long as it is correct on the top and tracks just fine on the top wheel.

Incomplete. . Doesn't say which way to tilt the top wheel to move the blade to the center.

Top Blade Center, the teeth are placed at the center, you do not center the fullness of the blade, go here for correct prodedure, www.youtube.com/@bandsawlife2660 YOU copied the wrong YT video!!
