Bob---I totally disagree----and told the Carter man to his face. After all---he'd rather solve your problems by selling you accessories you may or may not need.
So you're saying that Byrd and all the others that advocate setting wheels co-planer are outweighed by a Carter rep??
Well, I'm one Delta owner who followed the instructions in the band saw book by Byrd (confirmed by other sources) and found noticeable improvements in performance and tracking.
And in reality, its' such a simple operation that it can be done by a first-timer faster than all the arguing back and forth.
Don't get me wrong---Carter puts out some good products, but that doesn't mean they might not have an agenda. Even if it's just a difference of opinion, you still have to weigh it against all the other tool experts who suggest it.
