Go back to the supplier and get them to fix it.
Growing old is much better than the alternative!

I don't reckon a mitre gauge is a lot of use with a bandsaw. Never used mine anyway. You could try drilling and taping some holes in the bar for some grub screws...

Peter, drill & tap a few holes in the slide, and screw in some nylon grub screws, should be able to get them from a bolt supplier I'd reckon. Adjust to finetune the fit.

yeh, I was going to suggest that. Originally Posted by silentC

They come in little red bottles. Get a temporary type one that doesn't permanently fix the thread, so that you can adjust latter. I reakon.

Scooter, Apricotripper, suggestions much appreciated and taken onboard,
SilentC , am new to using a bandsaw and tend to stick with what I know , but can see where you are coming from , as the more you use it the more "freehand " it gets
Thanks all Peter
