   I would try speaking to Jesse Barragan of Eagle Tools in Altadena, CA.  He's helpful and has sold these machines for many years.

   Paul,

   I have an Inca 710 bandsaw (20") and I believe the tracking setup is similar. I just went and double checked the "FrEnglish" instructions for the 710.  On the 710 Inca any blade 1/2 or smaller is centered on the tire,  for blades that are wider than 1/2"  the teeth should overhang the wheel. It may look strange but it works.

   Hope this helps,

   Greg

   Paul,

   I purchased the Inca 340 in 2002 and the instructions say the blade teeth should overhang the rubber tires.

   I've used this bandsaw for many years. I always set the tracking so that about 1/8-inch of the teeth is off the tire. BTW, I have had very good luck with the Wood-Slicer blades (Highland Hardware) and Timberwolf (many sources). Never had problems with drift. Nick
