    Default Adjuster for Universal WA-14

    I bought a bandsaw from a forum member. The adjuster of the top wheel is broken (see photo).
    Is it possible to replace that part? If yes, where can I find one?

    Hare and Forbes would be the first place to look. Have a chat with them first.

    More likely to be a diecast aluminium alloy and that is not weldable or brazable unless you are very good with a torch.

    I am not and I don't have the equipment.
    Are you good with a torch? I assume you are in VIC. If so, if you pass through Woodend one day, let me know.

    Not that good. My solution would be to replicate it out of steel as that I can weld.

    Look for spare parts from the USA, they have lots of places that sell this kind of gear

    I have to agree if it is alloy it would be better to fabricate one from steel, hopefully you will be able to locate a spare
