Saw not cutting stright

[Frank S]

If I might add I have used a very similar method for setting up saw blades on various size band saws for years the only thing was though I found that it was often a little tedious trying to clamp the scale to the blade with the small makers clamp while at the same time holding the scale positioned just above the teeth of the blade so as not to incorporate the set of the teeth into the the mix. so I made a pair of slotted gauges to fit which ever saw I needed to adjust
they looked something like this Just a piece of sq stock with a slot cut into the end and a thumb screw to tighten it to the blade, the depth of the slot was just shy of being deep enough to reach the teeth. We made them and included a pair to fit the blades of every band saw we sold
