Evan, an engineer at Grizzly, demonstrates how to adjust blade support bearings and guide bearings for accurate cuts on a bandsaw. He emphasizes safety by unplugging the machine before performing any maintenance. The process begins with adjusting the support bearings behind the blade using a feeler gauge or a dollar bill folded into quarters. The lower support bearing is adjusted similarly. Next, Evan shows how to adjust the blade guide bearings, ensuring they are slightly behind the gullet of the blade to protect the teeth. Finally, he adjusts the guide bearings to lightly touch the blade while still allowing it to turn freely. Evan concludes by reinstalling the blade guard and thanking viewers for watching the tutorial.
