Listen up, this is the easiest way to do it: take the blade and the cutting platform off. Put a straight edge across the bottom wheel vertically so it (could) also touch the top wheel. Adjust the top and bottom screws on the back until you get the straight edge to touch all 3 surfaces and just like that your blade will run right in the center of the wheel.

Got my saw yesterday, and it had the same tracking problem. Followed the directions in the book (same as what you said they were) and my blade tracks perfectly now.

Thanks for the video. I bought a used Craftsman 351.214000 which is the same saw. Having same issue with bottom wheel. The bearings were shot and had a really hard time pressing in new bearings. Bottom wheel was way off visibly crooked. Currently waiting on Blue Max tires. Already polished table and replaced guide bearings and wheel bearings. Also replaced drive belt. This bottom wheel issue seems not fun, maybe after full refurbish I should sell it as it looks brand new. I would love the entry model Grizzly but hard to justify 800 bucks.

I've got the same issue! Mine's a Scheppach but I can tell it's the exact same saw. I'm going to fix it up tomorrow hopefully.

Tour video helped me solve a 2 year problem with my bandsaw! I have an Elektra Beckum BAS315 which has basically got the same construction. It kept popping off the blade and now I’ve set both wheels at approx 90 degrees and shimmed the motor a bit because the pulley was touching the bottom wheel. It is finally running true!

Keep playing with it, you will get it correct. Adjust Tension where when you push on blade in moves about 1/4". I have the 10-3061 and love it. I enjoyed the video.

I have the 14 inch Rikon--I battle this same issue, especially with smaller blades, <1/4" blade. I find the tension gauge that comes w the Rikon to be of very little value. Best to get use to the correct tension by feel and play in the blade. Adjusting the tracking of the bottom wheel is very, very problematic. Most band-saws don't even have this option, and for good reason. It is not very clear as to what you really did to get the alignment you showed. Be careful as you move to different width blades.

Do you have a friend thats just a little bit handy? Call him let him read the manual. This is a very simple idea its just a pivot point make small adjustments on bottom aline top check bottom make more adjustments Intel perfect. thats it good luck hope you get it.
