I figured this thread worked best in the construction forum..

I was trying to rip strips of pine on my inherited bandsaw. It used to work fine, but when the blade broke and I replaced it, I started having issues. The band blade turns inward as I push the wood through. As a result, I don't get straight cuts. I've readjusted, retensioned, and reread the instructions a million times, and don't know what else to do.

Any suggestions?
 
Your blade guides are not close enough to the new blade. The old blade was probably thicker than the new one. Also, the bearing behind the blade might be crooked. Square the bearing face 90 degree's from the side of the blade 1st. Then check the guides. Don't forget there's guides above the table & below the table.
