Blade movement

Hi all,

I am new to bandsawing and recently took delivery of a new bandsaw.



I am calibrating it and I don't know if the movement of the blade is normal.



I set the dial to zero at the weld, and rotated the wheel.



During the rotation the blade moved from -4minus 4.jpg to +10 thousandth .... plus 10.jpgmost readings were in the 0 to 5 range. the -4 happens once with each blade rotation and the +10 happened three times.



Is this normal?



The blade was a 1/4 6tpi on a Laguna 14/12



Thanks for any advice



Regards



Rob
