New EZ Boardwalk Sawmill lot to learn

[thecfarm]

You are learning all ready. My mill is a Thomas,it's a VERY simple mill to run and not much can go wrong with it. Not many moving parts.

So what did you end up doing?  I have the same mill and my blade rubs the flange as well.  Great mill though!

xulgiy Serious, watch the Woodland mills video on tracking, here is the link.  http://www.woodlandmills.ca/pages/sawmill-how-to-videos

The concept is the same, but the screw is different.  ok from memory....

Step one. 
Tighten your blade to full tension. 

Step two. Then back it off to half. 

Step three. Side the blade guides out of the way. You will have to loosen some bolts and tighten them to hold it out of the way.  As long as ithey are not touching the blade you are good. 

Step Four. locate the black nuts behind the left wheel.  I am assuming it is the left wheel as you are looking at the front of the mill.  If you are reading "EZ Boardwalk" the wheel should be your left. 

Step five.  you either have to rotate the 15/16 nuts in or out to correct the problem.  Try a half turn  then hand turn the band wheel.  keep turning a half turn until it over corrects and then come back some.  A post above has a photo of the nuts.  I will try and look see what post.  Hope that makes sense. 

I really had to what that video to understand it.  the nuts were different,but some concept.  My mill runs like a champ now.
