A word of advice: I just did a "tune-up" on the bandsaw described in the title of this post, and made a discovery. The lower bearing guide assembly had, over time, worked loose. Not much, but enough to create problems. I don't know why at the factory the assembly was not attached to the saw's frame using lock washers, but it wasn't. (Vibration almost mandates their use.) So my advice is simple: if you own this saw and are having any trouble with your cuts, remove the table and inspect (among other things you'd expect to scrutinize) the attachment of the lower guide bearing assembly. If it's loose, add a lock washer at both attachment points.
