Thank you I will check my belts.

And make sure the tires on the wheels are clean.

What do y'all think about changing out rubber belts to the linkbelt?

Wow! I was hoping it might not be the motor. Maybe just the setup.

It cut pine bodies pretty good but walnut is much thicker and harder.

If I have to buy another motor, would it just be cheaper to buy a better bandsaw? What name brand bandsaws would do the job in say the $400 range?

Thank you.

Well I changed the blade but it was too wide for circular cuts.

I just got another blade that is Olson 1/2 3tip but I haven't changed it yet. The bandsaw cuts slow and slowly stops all together.

If I cut and back off then repeate it cuts some. I tightened the tention but it didn't cut. It will cut small pieces okay. But when I tried to cut a neck blank it just stopped as soon as the board hit the blade. Thank you for any help you can give,

I have a 14" central machinery bandsaw from harbor freight, and I am building my first full guitar Made of walnut. I just can't get it to cut throughout the 8/4 walnut.

Besides changing the blade is there anything I could do to get the bandsaw to cut the material?
