I have a Jet 14 inch bandsaw ha thas performed well fro several years with moderate use. I use it much more during the last two years.
All of a sudden it has started making a loud screeching sound ONLY when cutting wood. When I first put the wod to the blade it sonds noramll but for only a few seconds and then a iget th screeching sound. It sounds like it is coming from the upper portion of the saw but I cannot pinpoint the location. Bearings seem to be OK and there is no apparent play in them. When running without cutting all seems to be normal.
It seems kinda of scary. I don't want to run it if I am causing damage to the tool.
This noise just started today.
Ant ideas where I go to fix the problem?
