I bought a used laguna 14” 3000 bandsaw around 6 months ago. It’s been working well but the blade tracking screw for the upper wheel started slipping. I removed the screw and the threads are fully stripped, as is the screw hole on the bandsaw. The only remedy I can think of is to tap a larger hole in the same place and use a new bolt to make the adjustments. Anyone else have this problem or think of another solution?
I am guessing the previous owner was over torquing the screw with the nut up against the bandsaw rather than loosening the nut to make adjustments.
Old bolt looks to be 1/4 so I’ll likely tap 3/8-16
thanks for any input.
