All,
Last time I came into the workspace was probably a week or two ago. I noticed that the thrust bearing on the large bandsaw was broken and notified the woodshop managers. Has the bandsaw repair been completed? Has the thrust bearing part been ordered?
I was told that it might take a while since this was an old machine, and I just wanted to check before making the trip to the shop with all of my material if I were to find it is still broken.
Thank you,
Landon
@MathewBusby and I (mostly him though) installed the new parts last Saturday. We spent a good amount of time adjusting it, so it should be in good shape right now and good to go.

It was mostly @Kentamanos
We kept the adjustment instructions for the guides, if anybody needs them. Do not crank the bearings down on the blade. The bearings should only touch the blade when cutting.

I figured since we are on the subject of bandsaws and resawing, I should post this video.
