I just got my new Horizontal Band Saw and used it for the first time. I was cutting aluminum tubing and solid 6" diameter bar stock. The problem I am having is the the cuts are not straight. The 6" diameter piece was suppose to be 1/2" thick. It started out as 1/2" thick but when the saw blade came out the other side, the section was 1" thick. The same thing was true with the 1 1/2" tubing I was cutting. The cut was not perpendicular to the axis of the tube. I had the blade guides as close as I get them to the stock being cut. Being brand new, there shouldn't be any wear or play in any of the parts.
Do I need to make/do some other adjustments to the machine? Appreciate any wisdom to solve this problem. Thanks.
