hi mga mam/sir, gamit kong bandsaw ngayon is 1/2 hp tapos yung blade nya half inch, gamit ko na kahoy is 1 x 4 nag tataka ako bakit hindi diretso yung cut nya sa umpisa ok naman pero sa bandang dulo tagilid na kain nya, masyado ba purol yung blade or kulang lang ako sa alignment? *na align ko na din kasi

Probably the center of the blade is at the crown of the BS tire. This leaves the teeth unsupported and can move sideways. Adjust the tracking to move the blade backward. The deepest part of the gullet should be at the crown. Also check the blade tension.

Alex Snodgrass can explain it better. Search for "bandsaw clinic with alex snodgrass" in youtube.

Probably under-powered. What brand/model of BS do you have?
You mentioned the dimensions of the wood you're cutting, but you didn't say the thickness of your cut.
