Wasn't sure where to post this, but I came across two amazing finds.

  1. Stopped at a garage sale on a whim and bought in almost new condition a Ryobi 9" bandsaw for $30 without a blade, not a problem. After he had my cash and not before. I asked why he was selling it. "Can't get it to track and I keep popping blades!" Ok! I think to myself just bought yourself a $30 boat anchor dumbass! After showing it off to a buddy who has a garage workshop and waiting for him to call me a "sucker"! He says it isn't setup correctly and when I get a blade bring it over. To make a long story short, searching for a 'How to video' I came upon this!
  2. Kool Dog's second amazing find.(How to setup a bandsaw the right way)

I used  6tpi blades I had some finer ones but they made very little  difference and couldn't be sharpened. 

These were the bits I used,  or something like them anyway.

Extra tip https://youtu.be/ZJ9f1lUHbpg shows how to increase the cut depth on these cheap bandsaws. For me it made the difference between being able to resaw a 2x4 and not. 

Once again thank you for your help.
