Grizzly band saw blade slips and stops in the middle of a cut. Tried tightening the blade and still slips. I put a note on it couldn’t find any red tags.
Thanks for posting. I think all of the bandsaw repair peeps are out of town. Maybe @gmossessian is in town? If not, I can look at it Friday.

No worries. Thank you for responding.
I will be by Friday morning also
No can do today, sorry.
Weird that it would stop in the middle of a cut, what’s the dimension of the cut you’re making and are you pushing really hard? Is it a big rip cut, and if so do you have guides in place to prevent the piece itself from twisting?
I had some time this morning. I looked at the grizzly. It is fine. I went ahead and re-tensioned the drive belt.
The jet bandsaw’s keyway fell out. I think this is the saw that is slipping? The keyway is reinstalled and loctited. All of the saws got a quick tune up in terms of the blade guides.

Is the grizzly able to resaw material now? The last time I went to use it the blade guard couldn’t go up very high.
The blade guard should work. It is a temporary fix till the new parts come in.
