Why does my band saw make inaccurate bevel cuts?

If the band saw makes inaccurate bevel cuts, the angle indicator may need adjustment or you may need to replace the saw blade. Use an angle guide to check the table tilt angle. Adjust the table angle indicator if necessary so it accurately points to the actual table angle.

A dull blade twists during cutting and won't cut the work piece at the set angle. Replace the band saw blade if it's dull.
