Thread: Triton Bandsaw

A photo speaks volumes around these parts

I believe and could be corrected I thin the Scheppac range are similar to the Triton

I think this is a rebadged Scheppach. Maybe the guys at Hare & Forbes can help?

Thanks guys for your quick response, I have already spoken to Hare & Forbes to no avail.

I have no had this happen to me. Maybe you had the blade to tight.

Where did you go for repairs? .Bearing in mind NO triton as we knew it.
Carbatec have looked all over Oz for me but no luck

Another thread has this site "Parts area available / Advise them to contact / [email protected] who will order their parts"

You can try Ghebrial Powertools on 93576168. I know they have parts for GMC and Triton.
Good luck

Sorry to being a bit slow to reply ,having used this machine in Triton demos I think that the reason for this wheel to break would be over tensionig it , regards replacement the Shepach is identical Triton is simply badge engineered so I would try Hare and Forbes again but don't quote Triton say it's a Shepach.Best of luck

I don't think Hare and Forbes sold the little 8" Scheppach,did they?

I have been able to purchase the bottom band saw wheel from Bairnsdale Electrics,and when Uncle Tommy comes back from holidays ( Uncle Tom is a toolmaker/ engineer and real helpful) is going to drill out the centre for me replace the bearing and AWAY we go. (hopefully).
So fingers crossed that all goes well.

What did the new wheel cost?

Oh and where do you get your blades from?

I think it worked out at about $10 plus postage but brought some other gear at the same time,

Should be able to get carbon blades made to order at any convenient saw doctor. I use Specialty Saws in Coolstore Road Croydon, but there are plenty of docs around, so you should be able to find one near you. Costs about $15 for Triton 12 and $13 for Triton 8. Just tell the doc what you want to use the blade for and the total length from the manual, they will reccommend a width and tooth pitch and give you a price. Because they do a fair bit of commercial/industrial work they generally only use quality Euro or American stock, much better than the prepacked stuff in Bunnings etc, and generally cheaper as well.
