Carolina Hd10 Band Saw Instruction Manual

If it moved away that will be the amount of angle on the cuts made with the saw. Then raise the saw and see if it either binds or moves away from the blade. Push it against the blade and then hold it there. The way to check this is put a framing square on the table (use whatever surface you plan on using for getting the stock flat on for a reference since these saws don't have a perfectly flat table). It would track pretty far off from 90deg to the table. My saw had the pivot bushings in the base wrong. However your saw may be suffering from what mine was based on what I see in the photo. I measure about 43deg angle with the table on the square tube at the top of the saw. My saw agrees with the other poster at 10 5/16' center to center. On my saw it is 12' long (about 10' between pivot center and adjustment bolts center). It is right between the motor and the hydraulic cylinder.

If someone would be willing to check it for me, the part I am referring to is the longer of the two support arms that the saw pivots on. I called the parts suppler for these saws-American Fabricators/Ramco-and they were not able to get the measurment for me. I would like to confirm the measurment by checking another saw of the same model, but I don't know anyone who has one for me to measure. The saw frame does not sit at a true 45 degree angle to the table (looking from the end) and it appears that it would complete the cut better if the high side of the frame were up a little higher. I bought a Carolina Bandsaw (I think it is the HD10, but there is no label) a month ago and I have been trying to get it set up properly (a bigger job than I anticipated!) and I have come to the conclusion that one of the support arms, which is clearly non-original on my saw, may be the wrong size.
