Thread: Table mounts for Baker 355-2 broke - need replacement parts

Needless to say, I can;t use the bandsaw until I get replacement parts. Anyone have a contact or know where to get replacement parts?

Oh -DISCLAIMER - the item was sold in perfect working condition by the seller and there is no inference whatsoever that there is any fault by the seller, this is a happens situation and a learning, in future with something like this, may be an idea to check these mounts and remove the table entirely or transport the item standing upright - but this issue may still present itself.

I will upload photos later to show exactly what I am referring to if I haven't clarified it correctly above, it is 2.50am after another night of sleep.

EDIT - also posting in the marketplace want to buy if that is OK with admin.

If aluminum, the it can be tig or might welded. In the process you may want to beef up the table or add some addition table surface. Adversity breeds innovation Tom

I think you are looking for bandsaw trunnions. Checkout Hare and Forbes to see if their spares fit. A common problem with several DIY solutions that show up in a google search.

Fuzzie you are spot on now that I look.

I took a picture of the broken parts:

And just rang and have now sent the above photo by email to see if they can help.

Or does anyone have a dead Baker bandsaw I can scavenge parts from?

May be possible but it appears some of the parts are missing aka bounced out of the trailer of the way home somehow.....

They look like a generic trunion. I got spares for a Taiwanese bandsaw, quite a few years ago, from Carbatec I think or maybe Total Tools or Gasweld.

That would be exceptional is they are generic, off I go to trawl the web a bit more. Back with results.
