So I hate when people get things figured out and never respond back to the class. ***Disclaimer, I have not tried this yet*** I emailed Grizzly about the blade tracking and here is their response back and my follow up questions along with their responses.
Dear Jason,
Thank you for your email dated December 10, 2019.
We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with your G0555LA35 14” Bandsaw with 1/8” blades. An 1/8” blade is the hardest blade to track. Often times, you need to sand a slight flat on the top of the crown of both your upper and lower wheel tires. The crown is often the problem due to the narrow body width of the blade and fine peak of the crown that cannot be flattened by the tension and width of the blade.
Your machine appears to be fine and perfectly coplanar prior to tracking the blades. If you can swap out to the ¼” blade and track it without issue, the issue is simply the narrow blade.
Vince,
Thank you for the response I do have two follow up questions. Do I sand the flat in the actual metal wheel or in the rubber tire that is on top of it? Also, if I do this will it affect the tracking of other size blades in the future?
Dear Jason,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
You would sand that into the crown of the tire itself, rather than the wheel. This will not affect other blades. Those larger blades compress the crown flat, but the 1/8” blade cannot do that. I recommend mounting sand paper to a block of wood, and then, placing the wood flat against the back of the saw and rotating the wheel by hand.
