Why does my band mill start level and end up duping in 10 ft

There's several possibilities.  Could be dull blade, could be the mill, could be the log.

Without a few more details it's only a wild guess.

What mill?  What species of log?

Is it s new blade?

How many board feet have been cut with the blade?

Who sharpened the blade?

Did you hit metal?

These are s few of the questions to start.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, Terry R!

When a blade is not running true, there are a lot of variables that enter the equation!

Yep, welcome to the Forum and we will need more info to figure it out.  
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
