StaticFilter Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 bought a used D28770 and for the most part got a killer deal but when i run the saw without load (pressure into the cut) the blade comes off... Any ideas? Need new rubber "tires"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanxrus Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 If you purchased this used, it is a very likely the tire's have worn it's course. Replacement ones run around $6. You did adjust tension properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriansWelding Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Not to hijack but I'm dealing with the same thing on mine. Blade rides right off the tires and out of the guides with no cutting pressure on the blade. My newer DeWalt bandsaws have an external adjuster on them to adjust the blade tracking, but this older unit has no adjustment that I've been able to find. The instruction manual is just as worthless as DeWalts own website on this matter. Fresh tires didn't help my cause either. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
