Have sawed for years, but would not touch a power pole myself . , sounds like its eating your blade set . your into some very tough stuff . they make carbide toothed blades ,but pricey my opinion its your only hope.

Just -
I'm pretty much in agreement with logger coffey and Knappett. One, either your bandsaw blade is dull or the tension is too loose, or Two, your rails are not trued up or are not stable.

I will just add i have heared the older poles that are creosoted, was very abrasive. Yup, thats why I won't touch the stuff to cut it length ways.

If it does the same thing in fresh logs, you have a problem with the saw adjustments or blades. If it cuts fresh logs (with a new blade) properly, it's the poles eating your blades.

Thats why there are planing mills. Maybe not as extreme,but rough cut lumber is rarely uniform.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I'm surprised you're getting a full length cut. My experience they are usually full of metal. Hope you are running a good metal detector on them. They are blade eaters. If you are routinely getting 1/4" deviations in your normal log cut lumber either your base is not aligned, leveled and mounted properly or it is flexing. A dull blade will try to ride but if the saw is being fed at the proper speed it shouldn't make deviations like you described with a dull blade and it would have to be extremely loose.
