Watch out for the leaf drift, AMAZING BLADE!

A few months ago I bought a jet band saw and tried EVERYTHING (almost everything) to get the blade to drift perfectly. I watched hours of videos online trying to solve this problem. I've bought new blades from a local blade company (they made it locally) and even tried upgrading to new top and bottom guides. I tried to pull the blade less and less, but nothing helped. it was my last effort to sell a new blade and then the bandsaw. but it worked, it tracked the true and accurate first try! I didn't adjust the wheel alignment, I just set the correct tension and adjusted the top and bottom rails as I've done in the past; youtube Snodgrass Bandsaw Clinic, great video. This blade was dead. First I tested on pine, not photos, then a small piece of glue, I cut off just enough to double a 1mm thick strip of poplar on white oak. Perfection! and the last strip of cedar 1/4" wide, 4" high and 18" long, this blade did not drift at all. I will be buying more of these. I will be testing the 3/16 blade on the bandsaw box soon.
