Checking Blade Tracking
"Tracking" refers to how the blade rides on the
sawmill wheels. Proper tracking is important for
achieving correct blade tension and cutting accu-
rately. Improper tracking reduces cutting accura-
cy, causes excess vibration, and places stress on
the blade and other components. The orientation
of the wheels in relation to each other determines
how the blade tracks.
