KFF Bandsaw
Has anyone heard of KFF machines. I have a band saw which I came by a while ago
and it has rather flimsy blade guides and one is busted. I can't find anything on google
about this brand. Thought maybe some one may know if spares are available
before I try to make one.
Cheers Robbo37

Some photos of the beastie. The 4th is a bit blurred but shows the busted lower guide.
I didn't realise just how untidy the shed is.Last edited by robbo37; 19th September 2013 at 01:38 PM. Reason: Added comment

That is a very common saw and is sold under many brand names. Get along to the local Hare & Forbes place with the offending part and they should be able to help.

No joy at Hare Forbes (Melbourne) but will call at Carbatec.

I upgraded the guides on a similar bandsaw about 4 years ago and got mine (upper only) from Timbecon.
The price might help you decide to make your own.

I have that same saw but with Carbatec badging. Mine was fitted with these guides a number of years ago.

Guides
I bit the bullet and purchased the Carbatec guides. That has almost doubled the value of the saw

When I had a saw like that I replaced the metal side guides with hard wood blocks. I used jarrah and just gave the guides a rub with wax now and then. Any of the quite hard woods would do. The saw ran nice and quiet. As required I would square the block ends on the sander. Sort of wish I could do this with my current bandsaw but the design does noy allow it. Dont take long for roller bearings get noisey.
