Blade jumping off? Learn how tracking works and avoid common mistakes with your sawmill (Revised)

Here we talk about how tracking works on Woodland Mills sawmills, how to avoid some common mistakes, and how to deal with tracking problems. Blade tracking is a common problem for new sawmill owners, but it doesn't have to be. This is a revised version of my previous video.

NOTE: I am not Woodland Mills tech support. Drive wheel tracking adjustment should be considered a last resort when tracking issues cannot be resolved and the straight edge test described in this video suggests the wheels are out of alignment in a way that cannot be corrected with horizontal tilt tracking adjustments on the follower wheel. Do not adjust the drive wheel tracking on your Woodland Mills sawmill without first contacting Woodland Mills tech support to obtain proper details and procedures.

EDIT June 12 2021: Woodland Mills has posted a nice handout on tracking, see this URL:
