thanks for the speedy reply, already i feel the knowledge growing! I was just outside adjusting a knob and i broke.... i guess thats plastic tensioner for you! I ended up exchanging the ryobi 16" for a mastercraft maximum 16" scroll saw, the blade runs in perfect line, and the whole thing feels much better, also the tensioner knob is no longer there, instead its a flip type switch that i guess sets it to specified tension.... so far so good!

Hi there, I am totally new to all this, but i read online that while the machine is operating the blade should look like a straight black line, my kinda wobbles slightly while on. could this be blade tension? i also read that sometimes the blade holders are out of line with the arms? i have no idea how to fix that.... i know the ryobi is not the best but, its cheap and i am SUPER entry level..... Ryobi SC164VS can anyone help? thanks!
