I have a 14 inch Powermatic brand bandsaw, recently i found that when I tried to tension the blade by turning the blade tension knob, the slide bracket would not move, all that appeared to happen was the spring in the slide bracket would compress, as a result of this I believe that the thread on the blade tension knob has become cross threaded, it will still wind up and down, but with some angst.
When the blade is not attached the slide bracket will move in the groove well and there does not appear to be anything causing the bracket to bind.
When the blade is on and I tension it with the tension lever the blade is taut by not taut enough.
I have looked and looked and still can not see why the slide bracket does not move up when the blade tension knob is turned. could it be because the thread is not running smoothly or is there something simple that I am missing.
I have attached a few pics that might assist
Regards
Graham
