Was hoping for hints on getting the saw off of the pallet.

Great video, now I understand exactly how to setup the Hammer N4400 Bandsaw. Those ceramic guides look really cool. Thanks guys!

The video is somewhat helpful, but it would be useful to have more details on how to avoid problems with the setup. For example, when I set up my Hammer bandsaw, the fence was neither square to the table front nor perpendicular to the table surface. It's possible, though tedious to square the fence to the table front, but there is no adjustment to make the fence perpendicular to the table. I ended up inserting a small wood shim as I screwed down the fence. The ceramic guides are not so easy to set up either. I have never been able to get mine to work without sparking. Felder tells me to "just ensure the rear guide sits flat on the blade." It would be helpful to have a procedure to do that, given you can't actually see where the guide touches the blade, whether it is sitting flat.

Is the center of the blade not supposed to be at the center of the wheels?
