Hi i have a wen 10" band saw. I just changed the blade and noticed that when I position the blade and lock the adjustment knob the blade still move from when I positioned it, gulled in the middle of the tire, it moves forwaerd on the wheel. I watched it with the saw running. Any idea what may cause this thanks
Mike

PS.. does it cut alright, maybe just use it
