Good explanation and detail on this repair. I have this X5 bandsaw, purchased new in 2006. One of the nice things about it is that the heavy duty spring was actually included with this saw by Delta.
Great explanation. I know I loved the video that Wood Whisperer posted with Alex Snodgrass back in 2017, but the tape trick you showed is a pretty slick way to add enough gap with those bearings.
My cuts are drifting using a fence that is installed in the fence slot. I watched a video where a guy was able to adjust the table to get the direction of cut parallel with the fence. Is your model adjustable like that? I can not find any adjusting screws to reposition the table, and the manual does not include any such adjustments for that problem. My model a 28-276. All watchers welcome to respond.
It looks like it's a 28-475X, Delta's X5 bandsaw. It was their top of the line 14" bandsaw for a number of years, and the last of their cast iron bandsaws to be made in the USA.

Nice job. I like the blue tape trick

I sold the saw and bought a Rikon, so I’m not sure. It was a Kreg fence if that helps.
I bought a delta bandsaw from a gentleman it ran good I loaded it in my truck got it home unloaded it plugged it in and it won't run any suggestions?
Sounds like motor's start capacitor might need replacing.
What model number is that bandsaw?

That is correct. I actually sold it recently.
