Thread: Bandsaw Blade Guides

Try here Scott.

Ahhh, thanks mate, I searched the Carbatec site however came up with nothing, must of been looking in all the wrong places!

Hi Scott,
Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick, but couldn't you just buy the Bearings from an Engineering Shop & replace them yourself, & take the pieces with you, or is it that you have to buy the Whole Lot as per the Photo.
That seems a waste of money to my way of thinking

Yeah issatree, it is a little exorbitant, however I broke the cast iron 'holder' for the bearings for the top guide (when I pulled the shed door down ). I've got all the parts however it would be near impossible to weld or repair. Besides the current guides are the nylon type and I'd weather replace with bearings.

Thanks for the advice

Carbatec has some but not sure if they are the ones you want. try this link.
if it doesnt work, search their website by typing in "Deluxe 14" Blade Guide set" they are priced at $89 They look identical to the ones at Timbecon

I would suggest to replace bearings it these had seize up. The ones on my bandsaw were almost solid.

Thanks for your responses everyone, I'll get the Carbatec guides next week. Will more than likely have to make a collet for the top guide.
