Check on this, but I think I’ve read some brands of saws are designed with non coplanar wheels. IMO what he says will not work on every machine especially ones with non-crowned or very low crown tires. I was advised not to change the factory settings, only if replacing the bearings.

Jonah, its not that simple. Lots of people advocate the Snodgrass video. No intention to start a debate, but be forewarned what he says re: drift has never worked for me (and not just me).

To me, its a whole lot easier and quicker to live with drift. 2 minutes to adjust the fence and I’m back to work. I’ve talked to tech I think at Powermatic and he said some bandsaws are actually designed for drift. I believe this is true because the manuals for both my saws (Rikon and Jet) have instructions on adjusting fence.

I suggest you call tech support for your saw and run it past them.
