Anyone got a good link to a site/thread with procedure for adjusting bandwheels for coplanar etc?Ihave run into a few questions,such as is it kosher for bandwheels to be slightly tilted ie top of wheels 1/8 ahead of bottoms.In other words not quite square to bed. Thats how mine are and I guess they must have been like that since new.I could adjust it out but wonder if its supposed to be that way?Anyone?

Cook's states that 1/8"- 3/16" is the optimal amount of camber. You should be good. Your guide wheels will bring the blade back parallel to the bed 'longways'. This is supposed to help with rising/diving issues of the blade. They have some videos and articles on the web that get into more detail.
